All Indian pair loses in straight sets.

[QF] Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan (IND)/ Purav Raja (IND) l (4) Luke Bambridge (GBR)/ Jonny O'Mara (GBR) 4-6, 1-6

However, Paes-Paire moves to semis; as their opponents retired in QF.

The Paes-Paire pair got a walkover from the top seeded Klaasen-Venus because of the latter’s illness. They play the Skupski twins in the SF.

Divij, the India #1 in doubles, is still at 39 in the live ranking (one slot above RB). Making the final will take him back to his career high of 36; winning the title will take him to a new high of 34.

The Bopanna-Sharan pairing doesn't seem to have much traction (after winning one title early on). This was a match they really should have won.

Divij and Sitak also made the draw as ALTs, and pulled off a very nice upset, breaking them in the key final game of the second set and winning 12 of the final 15 points in a big flourish! BopaShapo play their R1 tomorrow.
