US Open: Somdev looses to Andy Murry but good day for India in doubles

In US Open Tennis, India rounded off a second successive all-win day in the doubles competitions in New York. In women's doubles, sixth seeds Sania and her Russian partner Elena Vesnina eased past Americans Samantha Crawford and Madison Keys 6-2, 6-0. In mixed doubles, Vesnia teamed up with Leander Paes to beat the Russian-British combine of Nadia Petrova and Jamie Murray. The seventh-seeded Indo-Russian team won 6-2, 6-7, 1-0. How ever Somdev Devvarman let it slip after a good start to go down in straight sets against fourth seed Andy Murray in the men's singles opening round. Somdev, India's lone men's singles competitor, lost 6-7 , 2-6, 3-6 against the British number one in a match lasting two hours and 27 minutes at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
