[SF] Scott Lipsky (USA)/ Divij Sharan (IND) vs (4) Robin Haase (NED)/ Matwe Middelkoop (NED)

6 DFs in 3 service games by our pair so far. Started off with our pair getting broken twice - 0-3 score. Then our pair breaks them twice to make it 3-3. Divij I think then served 3 DFs to get broken again. 3-4 down now

[SF] Scott Lipsky (USA)/ Divij Sharan (IND) l (4) Robin Haase (NED)/ Matwe Middelkoop (NED) 4-6 2-6

Just a really really bad day in office, especially with service.

Divij keeps moving up in the rankings and is now at a new career high of 42. His next set of points to defend are only in May. So, he can keep going up with some good performances in next couple of months.

Divij is playing in a Spain challenger this week with Begemann.

[R1] (2) SHARAN, Divij (IND) / BEGEMANN, Andre (GER) vs. CLAYTON, Scott (GBR) / PEL, David (NED)

Divij/Andre lost in the STB, making it easy for the AITA to find more reasons in accusing Divij for skipping the tie.

For the record - [R1] (2) SHARAN, Divij (IND) / BEGEMANN, Andre (GER) lost to CLAYTON, Scott (GBR) / PEL, David (NED) 4-6, 7-5, 6-10

One of those strange ones where you win more points 71 vs 68 but still lose

This week, Divij is playing Moroccan tournament and have a good partner in German Davis cupper, Jan-Lennard Struff ... They r facing Sitak and Koolhof in the first round.

At €501K Grand Prix Hassan II 2018, Marrakech, Morocco

[R1] Divij Sharan (IND)/ Jan-Lennard Struff (GER) vs Wesley Koolhof (NED)/ Artem Sitak (NZL)

Nice coup to partner Jan-Lennard Struff, who pulled off a huge upset in DC doubles this weekend (partnering Puetz to beat Lopez-Lopez, the former FO champions, on clay). That same pair also beat Australia's Ebden/Peers in the previous round of Davis Cup.
But Divij has a higher doubles ranking than Struff, so the latter may well be thinking he has pulled off a minor coup to be partnering Divij

Routine win for Divij and his partner in the opening round at Marrakech.

What a great win with another new partner against a tough team! Sitak/Koolhof just won the Alicante CH last week. Go Divij

Wow! Divij and Struff moves into the SF with a brilliant STB win against the 3rd seeds.

[QF] D.Sharan(IND)/J.Struff(Ger) vs D.Inglot(GBR)/M.Daniell(NZL) 6-7 (5), 6-0, 11-9

Awesome win for Divij and partner! Divij does seem to do well with a variety of partners -- he must be having very good doubles skills and smarts! Perhaps, being a lefty helps as I assume he mostly partners with righties...

Excellent win. They saved 4 match points and won 6 straight points from 5-9 down in super tie break.

Next up against top seeds.
