[F] (Q) Harsh Mankad (IND)/ Ashutosh Singh (IND) vs Carsten Ball (AUS)/ Travis Rettenmaier (USA)

Excellent win by Somi against Bobby Reynolds ... So back to back top-100 wins for him ... Now we can safely say he is back in August form which was missing in Romanian tour and after ... In the final he is facing Robert Kendrick, who is also licking his wounds given by Somi in the past ... So he will give his best but with coming back in form this week Somi will not miss chance of winning another challenger title.

This week Frenchman Laurent Recouderc is on #200 with 205 pts ... So calculative guess is Somi having chance to enter into top-200 with (164+42) 206 pts.

So with this win this qualifier pair in their first final of $75K Challenger event ... In the final they r facing American-Aussie pair ... This win can help Harsh to re-enter into top-200 doubles ranking ... Argentine Alejandro Fabbri is on #200 with 292 pts, so Harsh having chance of entering into top 200 doubles ranking with this win (252+42 = 294 pts).
