Though I believe we could have been 2-0 up.'' On his team's chances in the tie after the first day's play, Paes said the Pakistan coach had given them a 60-40 chance at the beginning of the tie, he would now make those odds further in India's favor as per

''I am also confident that on Sunday the boys would come out charging and wrap up the tie, after we (along with Mahesh Bhupathi) winning the doubles tomorrow,'' he said.

On the first match, Paes said more than Rohan (Bopanna) losing, it was Aisam Quereshi who won it.
