(2) India l (3) USA 0-3

Saurabh Singh (IND) l Evan King (USA) 26 06

S.V. Abhishek (IND)/ Saurabh Singh (IND) l Evan King (USA)/ Raymond Sarmiento (USA) 36 63 46

I was also hoping win from Yuki and doubles as a deciding rubber ... But it looks Kudla played out of skin to turn table on Yuki after down 0-3 in the third set ... So now we will face top-seed Russia for 3rd position.

At $576K Bangkok ATP Open, Thailand
[F] (1) Leander Paes (IND)/ Lukas Dlouhy (CZE) bt Scott Lipsky (USA)/ David Martin (USA) 64 76(4)

Lee and Lukas grabbed this opportunity to win their first title as team ... And now I think we will definetly see many more titles from this duo.

Match was lot more closer than our pair thought ... Lee & Lukas won 71 pts to 60 pts to Scott & David ... Our pair converted 2 break-points from 4 chances and other hand saved 3 break-points from 4 break-points they faced.

Leander Paes - "It’s always special stepping on the court with Lukas because not only does he complement my style of playing but he’s also teaching me things. It’s interesting that, after playing for so many years, to have a partner who’s also teaching me a few things is really beautiful."

On winning 40 titles, Paes said: "It is special and I think that one of the things I like to do is see my partner win a lot more. This is the challenge for me because I know if he’s winning I’m winning too. I’m trying to step up Lukas, this is the fifth one that he’s won, so now I’m trying to step up his wins because then mine will go up automatically."

Lukas Dlouhy - "It’s a great feeling to win the whole thing and I think if we keep working like this we can win more tournaments. I think we played high-level tennis and when they came back in the second set we just stepped it up and we just focused on the basic things. I hope that we can keep it like this and we can enjoy the rest of the year and we are looking forward to playing the Masters Series events."
