[R2] Somdev Devvarman (IND,68) vs Julien Benneteau (FRA,77)

Doubles
[R1] Somdev Devvarman (IND)/ Mark Knowles (BAH) l Yen-Hsun Lu (TPE)/ Oliver Marach (AUT) 36 46

Sommy did what he wanted to do ... Need to only hold his serve after 5-3 in the second set ... He hold serve at luv to complete memorable victory considering Guillermo Garcia-Lopez having good grass skill ... He was last year's runner-up in the same event ... This was also Sommy's first win on the grass in 2011 season after disappointing last 2 weeks ... Next he is facing Frenchman Julien Benneteau, who is also having decent grass skill so good test for Sommy before Wimbledon.

In doubles bad start for Sommy and Mark ... They lost their serve thrice and managed to break their opponents once in the first set ... In the second set also both pairs traded early breaks but Lu and Marach take important break in 8th game and that was enough to won the second set.
