At $220K PTT Pattaya Open, Thailand

[R1] (6) Sania Mirza (IND,59) vs Tatjana Malek (GER,79)

Sania is 6th seed at Pattaya Open ... She is playing with sore wrist, so decided to skip doubles next couple of weeks.

At $531K SAP Open, San Jose, USA

Rohan Bopanna (IND)/ Jeff Coetzee (RSA) vs Carsten Ball (AUS)/ Stephen Huss (AUS)

Rohan was last year's finalist with Jarkko Nieminen beating Bryans in quarters ... So Bops must be hoping of repeat performance ... But he will be very tired after long travel from South Africa through Dubai to San Jose, so hopefully he will be ready for his match which will be mostly on Wednesday.

[R1] Harsh Mankad (IND)/ Dustin Brown (JAM) vs (2) Jonathan Marray (GBR)/ Jamie Murray (GBR)
[R1] Prakash Amritraj (IND)/ Brendan Evans (USA)/ Mikhail Kukushkin (KAZ)/ Alessandro Motti (ITA)

Good to see Harsh rush to Europe for next set of challengers ... But tough match against Britishers in first round with Brown.

Kash having match against similar ranked Italian in singles, though winnable ... Also winnable match in doubles.
