Feliciano Lopez withdrew from Miami Masters so Roger-Vasselin replaced him in main-draw ... Again slow start for Somi against Roger-Vasselin ... Roger-Vasselin was serving powerfully and holding comfortably ... Somi was struggling on his own service game ... Roger-Vasselin take important break in 7th game and won the first set ... From the second set Somi improved his returning game ... He broke Roger-Vasselin in 2nd game to lead 3-0 but while serving for the set at 5-3 Somi failed to hold his serve, 5-4 ... But Somi won 5 points in a row from 40-0 to take break in 10th game and won the second set ... In the final set Somi had 2 break points in 4th game which he failed to convert ... Then in 11th game Roger-Vasselin had a break point but Somi saved it ... Somi take crucial break in 12th game converting 1st match point from 15-40 for excellent comeback win ... Really happy to see Somi is taking advantage of weaker draw ... Next he is facing WR #1 Novak Djokovic ... Novak is terrific form and won the first match against Rosol losing only a single game.
Roger-Vasselin lost in the doubles with his French partner Gasquet against Mahesh and Daniel ... Mahesh and Daniel won the first set in tie-break and then more comfortably won the second set.
