Buji saved a break point in 3rd game before holding his serve and then immediately broke Ward to take lead in the first set, 3-1 ... But Ward immediately broke him in 5th game to brought this set on the serve ... Buji also immediately responded in next game and broke Ward to retake the lead, 4-2 ... In 9th game when serving for the set Buji saved a break point before converting first set point for winning the set ... In the second set Buji saved couple of break points before holding his serve in 4th game and broke Ward in next game converting 4th break point of the game to lead 3-2 ... But like the first set Buji failed strengthen the lead and lost his serve in next game, 3-all ... Ward again broke him in 8th game to lead 3-5 and then hold his serve for winning the second set ... Buji struggled with his serve after break up in the second set and lost 4 games in arow including got broken twice ... In the third set Ward broke Buji in 1st game converting 3rd break point ... After losing six games in a row Buji managed to win a game when he hold his service game in 3rd game, 1-2 ... At last Buji managed to tske break back in 6th game when he broke Ward, 3-all ... In 8th game Buji had few break points but Ward hold this long service game, 4-all ...

Somdev is facing Slovakian Lukas Lacko in the first round ... I feel this is favorable draw for Buji and hoping he will give his best performance.
