Terrific performance against Kuznetsov who recently won Winnetka Challenger as an qualifier ... So playing at the Kennedy Funding Invitational gave him required boosting to perform well on tour.

Next he is facing South African Izak Van Der Merwe, they partnered in doubles and also he can be Davis Cup singles opponent in September ... Go Somi.

But he and Huey lost their doubles match against top-seed Ratiwatanas ... But Harsh and David Martin had solid start with win against experienced Asian pair.
