[R1] (Q) Somdev Devvarman (IND,152) vs (5) Igor Kunitsyn (RUS,37)

Somdev qualified for maindraw with straight sets victory ... First set was close as both players were dominating opponent's serve ... Somi lost his service games twice but he broke Alex's serve thrice ... But after winning first set Somi controlled the match .. In second set Somi was down with break 1-2 but then he won next 5 games breaking Alex's serve thrice to scored win in 1 hr 39 mins.

Prakash fought hard against Sweeting but as I mentioned yesterday Sweeting was better player on the court ... In second set Prakash was up 5-2 but Sweeting comeback strongly and take set to tie-break where he dominated that ... Still happy to see that Prkash tried his best in this match and was unlucky to won important points.

As usual tough draw for our player in maindraw, in maindraw only one qualifier was going to meet seeded player and after draw that player is Somi ... So tough assignment for Somi against Kunitsyn ... Go Somi.
