That is a very good win for Divij and Lu. Feel good here for Divij. He must be feeling a bit left out and disheartened after Purav was selected for davis cup and formed a partnership with Leander. This run will make him feel better.

Great going for Divij/Yen-Hsun in Chengdu! They are a good pair and should make the partnership more permanent.

Nice to see Sania make another big SF. Can she solve the Hingis challenge in the SF?
