Nice news to wake up to.

Would count as one of the best wins of the year by Rohan.

[QF] Rohan Bopanna (IND)/ Edouard Roger-Vasselin (FRA) lost to Juan Sebastian Cabal (COL)/ Robert Farah (COL) 6-4, 6-7(9), 0-1(11)

6-4, 5-6. Saved 2 set points to force a tie break. Lost the tie break 6-7(9). Onto the STB. A test of my theory that it's very difficult to win a TB and then a STB.

Yes, Divij lost without much fight in the first round with Skupski against Monroe and Matkowski ... I think, one of the bad day in the office for Divij.

Purav and Fabrice lost in the first round against local wild-card pair ... After winning the first set they had 3 match points on Fucsovics's serve in the second set, 5-4 (15-40), but failed to convert ... After that Hungarian pair kept control in the tie-break and the match tie-break for completing the win.

[R1] Fabrice Martin (FRA)/ Purav Raja (IND) l (WC) Attila Balazs (HUN)/ Marton Fucsovics (HUN) 64 67(3) 7-10
