Sania-Bopanna beat Murray-Watson to enter semis Sania's forehands and Bopanna's serve did it for India in what seemed to be a tricky tie on paper against Andy Murray and Heather Watson. But Murray was coming into the match following a draining quarterfinal match against Steve Johnson of USA and it showed against India's upbeat pair who got the breaks at just the right time. Sania-Bopanna won 6-4, 6-4 and are one win from a medal.

Hockey: Minnows Canada earn 2-2 draw against India

The men's hockey team, already assured of a berth in the quarter finals, led twice against lowly Canada before allowing their rivals to bounce back and earn a 2-2 draw in their concluding pool game.

They ended the league with seven points with the help of two wins and a draw in five matches.

"I'm not pleased with today's performance. We should have scored more goals in the second and third quarters. If we did that we would have been ahead. We kept Canada alive and gave the opportunity to draw, that's something we have to learn," coach Roelant Oltmans said after their match.
