At € 1.84M Swiss Indoors, Basel, Switzerland
[R1] (4) Mahesh Bhupathi (IND)/ Michal Mertinak (SVK) l Xavier Malisse (BEL)/ Dick Norman (BEL) 75 36 9-11
Lost in the first round ... STB was very close.

At $75K Charlottesville Challenger, USA
[R1] (1) Somdev Devvarman (IND,79) bt Greg Jones (AUS,192) 75 63
[R1] (WC) Sanam Singh (IND,886) l (3) Bobby Reynolds (USA,120) 67(4) 26
[R2] (1) Somdev Devvarman (IND,79) vs (WC) Denis Kudla (USA,310)
Sanam was broken early in the set ... He had opportunity of breaking back in 8th game but failed to convert but Sanam broke Bobby in 10th game when he was serving for the set, 5-5 ... Bobby won the tie-break on good serving ... After losing the first set Sanam failed to improve his game and Bobby broke him twice to won this set comfortably.
Good fighting performance by Sanam but he need to play lot more matches ... His tour planning is absurd, need to play many more futures to gain points so he can aim for challengers with improved ranking and match experience ... He already missed Nigerian futures and I m not sure about his participation in Indian leg of 4 weeks futures.
Somedev gave clinical performance in the first round to win it in straight sets.
