Somdev couldn't repeat last year's title win ... He started well against Isner winning first set but after that Isner take control of the match ... Isner methodically dominated match after first set ... In third set he dominated Som and break his serve twice.

But Som will be happy with his performance as currently he was struggling with his form ... He was low on confidence in his recent matches so there is lot of positives for Som taking from this week's performance.
