Great to see the new paring of Jeevan and Purav use their luck in getting last minute entry at Sofia and advance to the SF. Hope they can win at least 1 more, if not 2 matches which can really boost their rankings.

Their SF at Sofia as well as Divij-Rohan's QF is on schedule today as also Leander's SF at Montpellier.

Yikes. Semifinal losses everywhere this week. But that was really a bad loss by Rohan and Divij, who should be doing better than this by now. Hope they buckle down and do better soon.

SF losses in 3 different ATP tournaments this week -- but quite a satisfactory week for Leander, Jeevan & Purav. Not too bad for Divij/Rohan either; they lost to a much-lower-ranked Asian pair (who we know a lot about from the Challenger level), but won a good one over Pavic/Zimonjic earlier.
