Wimbledon: Sharan-Sitak enter 2nd round
London : India's Divij Sharan and his New Zealand partner Artem Sitak survived a tough five-set battle to enter the third round of the men's doubles category at the Wimbledon tennis tournament here on Saturday.
The unseeded Indo-Kiwi combination had started poorly as they lost the first couple of sets to Julio Peralta of Chile and Argentina's Horacio Zeballos.
But Sharan and Sitak made a superb comeback, winning the next three sets to carve out a 6-7, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6, 6-4 victory in a gruelling contest which lasted for three hours and 22 minutes.
They will face Jonathan Erlich of Israel and Marcin Matkowski of Poland in the next round.
