The number one seeds went down 7-5, 4-6, 6-7(9), 6-7(5). It was a close affair in the early parts and the American brothers broke late to capture the first set 7-5. The Indo-Romanian pair broke twice in the second set to make it all square and then went on to take the third set in a thrilling tiebreaker. After double faulting at match points and letting the match slip into another tiebreak, the pair finally came up with goods and wrapped up the match to create a huge upset. The pair had previously triumphed at Stuttgart and looks solid to go all the way. The team of veterans – Leander Paes and Martina Hingis- seeded seventh demolished the unseeded duo of Artem Sitak and Anastasia Rodionova 6-2, 6-2. Some terrific reflexes at the net by Paes and some great baseline shots by Hingis powered them through to the next round. 

Bopanna and Mergea caused one of the upsets of the tournament by beating the
fancied Bryan brothers.

<strong>History</strong>

The sport of tennis is said to originate from the 12th century in France. However, at that time, players were using their palms to hit the ball. From the 16th century onwards, rackets began to be put in use.

But it was only from the 19th century onwards that it became a serious game. A typical tennis match consists of games. Players score 15 points to 30 points to 40 points and finally a game. In the event of 40-40, also known as a deuce, a player has to gain an advantage and win the next point to win the game.

The first to reach 6 games with a minimum gap of 2 games wins a set. However, if one player wins 6 games and the other wins 5, the leading player has to win a 7th game before his opponent. In the event of six games all, on certain occasions, a tiebreak is played until a player either reaches 6 games or wins by 2 games if both reach 6 games.

Coming to sets, there are 2 types of matches, 3-set matches and 5-set matches. In the event of the former, if a player earns 2 set wins, he or she wins the match. In the latter's case, it is a case of a player winning at least 3 sets.
