In tie-break Somi saved 3 set points before losing this long tie-break ... In the second set Buji broke Seppi in 5th game to lead 3-2 but this time also he lost his serve in next game ... While serving for staying in the set at 4-5 Buji lost his serve to lose the second set ... In the third set from 2-4 down Buji broke Seppi twice to lead 5-4 but he wasted 5 set points on his serve from 40-0 and lost his serve ... Seppi again broke Buji in 12th game to won this match ... Buji had chances in this match but he failed to convert ... Still creditable that with this US open performance he is re-entering into top-100.
