After losing first set Kash tried comeback winning second set but Schuettler showed his class dominating third set from the start.

Harsh and Yuki played lot better than what score suggest ... This was Yuki's first main draw match on this big stage and he struggled ... His first serve pecentage was low and twice he made 2 double faults in a game ... But still few times in the match he showed his shot hitting ability and also having big second serve ... Impressed with Harsh's doubles game, huge improvement in his game, nice improved serve and volley game ... Our pair also had few break points chances buth they couldn't convert it.

In a way good so Rohan can concentrate on his singles match.
