At $508 Legg Mason Tennis Classic, Washington DC, USA

[QF] (Q) Somdev Devvarman (IND,320) l Igor Kunitsyn (RUS,84) 46 16

So at last tiredness caught with Buji against Kunitsyn, who also play with similar baseline game ... This was Buji's 6th match in this tournament ... But excellent run until quarters for him in this Washington ATP ... This is also helped him to bring his ranking inside top-250 ... Great week for him.

Now he should rest and try as alternare sign up for US qualies before Romanian challenger.
