[Q3] (27) Somdev Devvarman (IND,161) vs (12) Blaz Kavcic (SLO,126)

[R1] Sania Mirza (IND,56) vs (26) Aravane Rezai (FRA,27)

Somi started badly as his serve broken in first game ... In this set Somi was struggling with his serve and other hand Kamke was holding his serve easily ... Kamke again broke Somi's serve in 7th game and then hold his next serve to win first set easily ... Second set started on similar way ike first set ... Kamke broke Somi's serve in first game ... But from second game suddenly Somi started to play better (mostly he found his correct range on his shots) ... He won next 6 games on a row in that broke Kamke's serve thrice to won second set ... In third set again Somi broke Kamke's serve in first game and third game to take early lead 3-0 ... But Kamke made exceptional fight back breaking Somi's serve twice to make it 3-all ... Then both players hold their next service games on luv to make it 4-all ... Somi again broke Kamke's serve in 9th game and was serving for the match ... Again Kamke broke Somi's serve to make it 5-all ... After Kamke's hold Somi was serving for staying in the match and he hold easily ... In 13th game Somi broke Kamke's serve after saving 2 game points ... And this time he hold his service game @30 to moved in to final qualifying round ... In third set match was very close as anybody could win ... I really surprised to see that Somi wasted 2 breaks advantage in the beginning and got broken while serving for the match in 10th game ... From Chennai Open it is evident that Somi is struggling with his serve ... He need to take care of this before next matches to go deep here at Australian Open.

Main draw is out and Sania had tough draw facing Frenchwoman Aravane Rezai, who is good form.
