Nagpur are up 4-2 and on the verge of winning this set! Scrumptious back-and-forth action as the match is well-poised

Nagpur are up 3-2 in the men's doubles. Karlovic looks like a one-trick pony, his serves are his only asset

We go into a tie-break to decide the mixed doubles

Feliciano Lopez continues to thrive under pressure as he equalizes 4-4 in the third set

The score's 4-3 in favour of Hyderabad, but there's not much in it as the overall score's 12-11 in favour of the home team

A thriller's in the works as Lopez brings Nagpur back into it

Karlovic's serves continue to be Hyderabad's biggest weapon, as he serves an ace to increase their lead to 3 games at 4-1

Ivo Karlovic's serves are keeping momentum on Hyderabad's side

But Feliciano Lopez gets Nagpur back in the game with an ace of his own!

Ivo Karlovic's monster serves win the first game of the mixed doubles for Hyderabad

Jankovic shows great spirit in coming back to win the women's singles and level the scores 8-8
