[R1] Somdev Devvarman (IND,140) bt (3) Leonardo Mayer (ARG,96) 46 62 62

Unexpected win from Som after his recent drop of confidence and form ... But this was huge comeback win over top-100 South American clay court specialist player ... Now Som should build on this win to go deep in this Croatian challenger.

Somdev's coach Jacek Wolicki - " Som continues to get better on clay with each match. He started of really well and got up to a 4-2 lead in the first set. Unfortunately he let that set slip away but showed some incredible toughness to win the next two sets. Leonardo Mayer is an incredibly good clay player with some great results in the recent past. Som Focused on the thing that he could do today and came up with an impressive win."
