'The first set in particular was up-and-down, we went ahead and couldn't sustain it, but that happens on a clay court. It is difficult to consistently hold serve,' he said, adding, 'the second set was more consistent, both teams held serve and we did well in the tie-break.' Bhambri, who played alongside Frenchman Albano Olivetti at Roland Garros last year, falling in the first hurdle, has taken some significant strides in his game this year, which includes making the third round here for the first time.
