In the second round, the duo defeated (6-3, 2-6, 10-7) second seeded US-Swedish pair- Lisa Raymond and Simon Aspelin. However, they entered into semis easily due to walkover of their opponents (7th seeded Kveta Peschke and Martin Damm) in quarter finals. Sania is crashed out from women's singles and doubles, while Bhupati along with his Bahamian partner Mark Knowles has reached quarters in men's doubles. Bhupati-Knowles will now face to Bryan brothers (Bob and Mike) of USA in quarter finals.
