At $425,535 Chennai Open, India

[QF] (WC) Ramkumar Ramanathan (IND,248) l Alijaz Bedene (GBR,45) 76(5) 46 36

Doubles
[QF] (WC) Somdev Devvarman (IND)/ Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan (IND) bt (WC) N. Sriram Balaji (IND)/ Ramkumar Ramanathan (IND) 64 16 10-6

Though RamK lose this match but still I am predicting that he is truly arrived on the tour ... This match was 2 hours and Till first and 3/4th second set RamK was matching Bedene or I can say he was better at sometime ... In the first set Bedene saved a break point but other hand RamK was solid ... He played excellent game for winning this set in tie-break ... In the second set also RamK was matching Bedene and played some breathtaking shots while approaching the net or with his fearsome forehands ... He had 2 break point chances in 7th game at 15-40 but RamK missed this opportunity ... Bedene took advantage of it breaking RamK in 10th game for winning the set ... In the final set RamK got broken in 2nd game and was down early 0-3 ... And after that Bedene played solid tennis on his service games but in 9th game when Bedene serving for the match RamK managed to put pressure on him ... RamK saved four match points but in end Bedene converted fifth match point.

Buji-Jeevan score a win in super tie-break against RamK and Bala for entering into the semis.
