Sommy started with breaking Ruben's serve in 1st game but then lost his serve in 2nd and 4th games to 1-4 down ... After that both players hold their respective serves so Ruben won the first set with a single break advantage ... In the second set Ruben broke Sommy in 3rd and 7th games to win it comfortably ... In the third set after saving break point on his serve in 1st game Sommy broke Ruben in 4th game to lead 4-1 ... And then hold his serves to win this set ... In the fourth set Ruben broke Sommy in 4th game and take 1-3 lead ... Sommy immediately broke back to make it 2-3 ... Ruben again broke Sommy in 8th game to lead 3-5 but Sommy again immediately broke him when he was serving for the set, 4-5 ... But while serving for the staying in the set Sommy failed to hold and lost the match ... In the third and fourth sets Sommy showed glimpse of his old game so we can say his game is coming back ... He failed to generate speed on his serve giving indication that he still need to recover full strength in his shoulder.
Mixed doubles draw is out ... This time surprisingly Sania and Mahesh r not playing together but both r having decent partners in Czech Andrea Hlavackova and British Colin Fleming.
