Somewhat disappointing performance by our players ... Shocking defeat was of Lee and Lukas, who tried their comeback after losing first 2 sets but In decider gave crucial break to their opponents to bowed out in second round ... Mahesh and Max scored easy straight sets victory over British wild-card pair ... But most impressive win scored by Rohan and Aisam against experienced pair where they won decider 13-11.

But in mixed doubles Rohan and Aisam lost in the first round ... Then Mahesh also lost in second round with American Liezel Huber.
