Nice couple of wins there for Divij/Purav, but now they run into a surprisingly strong pairing of top-75 players in the SF. Good luck!!

Purav and Divij scored huge straight sets upset win over top-75 pair ... After winning the first set with a single break they dominated the second set ... In the final they r facing unseeded Aussie pair, who upset Ratiwatanas in the first round.

Great win for Divij/Purav.... Saw the last half of the 2nd set and both of them were assured of their play and clearly dominated the proceedings.

A title with a win against the Aussie pair will get Divij back into the Top-100, while Purav will get close to #120....

GL for today and for the coming 2 weeks...

This is a really good run by our guys. Just what they need to do if they need to somehow make it to the tour level in doubles. Need multiple runs like this in a few challengers. Jay

That is an excellent win in the SF by Divij & Purav . They are looking in prime form indeed this week with this win & also with their scorelines against difficult pairs in the earlier rounds. Hope they keep up their form for 1 more round at least. They are facing a big serving Australian pair whom they had beaten last month in the Kyoto challenger final.

[Saniapower]

They together make a good team. Take the title now.

[sameerph]

Divij & Purab lost the first set 63 but are leading up a break 5-2 in the second.

Damn, Divij got broken while serving for the set. It is back on serve now with Divij-Purav leading 5-4 in second set

Now, Purav got broken. Australian pair will be serving for the match.

[F] (4) Divij Sharan (IND,106) / Purav Raja (IND,134) l. Chris Guccione (AUS,124) / Matt Reid (AUS,171) 36 57

Tough loss for Divij/Purav and lost out on those crucial bonus points by failing to clinch the title....... They were serving for the 2nd set at 5-3, but lost 4 games in a row to lose the match......

Divij stays out of Top-100 at #102, while Purav gets to #127

for next week...

[jaydeep]

Really missed chance after leading 5-2 in the second set.
