In the second set, Jebens and Frantzen came out triumphant in the tie-breaker despite resilience from Bopanna and Ebden as the score was tied at five games apiece when rain interrupted play.

Germans came out all guns blazing to seal the tie-breaker after the resumption and took a hefty 4-1 lead. They carried the momentum till the last and ended Bopanna and Ebden's campaign in the tournament.
