[R1] Somdev Devvarman (IND,99) vs Kevin Anderson (RSA,77)

Sania scored really good win against Russian and hoping that continue in the final qualifying ... She lost her service only once in the match ... She is facing another unseeded player from Colombia in the final qualifying, who crushed Chinese opponent losing 3 games.

Draw is out and Somi having first match against South African Kevin Anderson ... Though before this they never play each other on tour or in ITF tournaments but they were rivals in NCAA and Somi dominated their matches at that time ... So hopefully we will see same here at US Open.
