[R1] (6) Somdev Devvarman (IND,124) vs Roko Karanusic (CRO,191) 67(8) 36
[R1] Prakash Amritraj (IND,204) l Izak Van Der Merwe (RSA,263) 36 26

Doubles
[R1] (2) Harsh Mankad (IND)/ Treat Huey (PHI) bt (WC) Ryan Harrison (USA)/ Rylan Rizza (USA) 26 62 10(8)
[R1] Somdev DevVarman (IND)/ Purav Raja (IND) vs (WC) Cory Parr (USA)/ Todd Paul (USA)

Croatian was tricky one but still wasn't expected this loss after last week nice run ... Though Roko Karanusic was ranked as high as #88 in February 2009 ... But with this our singles challenge got over as Kash also lost cheaply against Van Der Merwe.

Good to see Harsh and Treat managed win in super tie-break ... Hopefully this week they will perform as per their seeding.

[QF] (2) Rohan Bopanna (IND)/ Aisam Qureshi (PAK) vs Dustin Brown (JAM)/ Jiri Krkoska (CZE)

Rohan failed to continue his nice singles win streak in main draw ... He lost to local player, must be tired after grueling 3 qualifying matches ... But as expected winning start for him and Aisam in doubles.
