Australian Open 2018

Super returns from Divij and Ram as well as a great low volley from Ram in game 5 lets Ashram go up by two breaks in the decider. It is 4-1 with Divij to serve.

[prasen9]

The good guys lead 5-1 in the third set.

[VReddy]

Ramsharan win! Sharan looked really good in the 3rd and I only watched from the 3rd set. Hope they can keep the momentum in the next rounds! Good win

[suresh]

Yes, good guys win.

Looks like Oprah has a sore throat today! Oprah won't be singing any opera today! Happily the last set turned out to be not a soap Oprah! And Divij emphatically ends the match at the net by punching away a Foggy return! Phew! It was back from the brink! I think the Europeans might have even held a match point!

He played better after he changed his shirt!

Haha. Unfortunately, Ramsharan play the No.1 seeds next . I do fancy our pair chances though - keeping fingers crossed!

[Rajiv]

Ramsharan win!

We have to credit SKS for coining the phrase RamSharan and if this partnership continues on regular basis we should soon be having an RamSharan thread

Much better than the alternative ShaRam, I guess albeit a tad longer !

Excellent win by the pair coming back from facing serve for the match in the second set. So, Divij equals his career best performance in grand slams. He reached R16 last year at French open along with Purav Raja where they almost beat the eventual champions Venus and Harrison.

Nice! . It was used by the chair umpire in the first round as well and it stuck to me as it rhymes with a prominent telugu actor name

After winning the first set 6-2, it is 4-4 in the second set for Rohan and Roger-Vasselin.

[knarayen]

Rohan roger-Vasselin win 6-2,7-6 (3)

[suresh]

Bopanna/Roger-Vasselin win in straight sets. Lots of loose play (unforced errors) at the net from Rohan in the second set -- luckily it didn't hurt them too much.
