Doubles -
[F] Somdev DEV VARMAN (IND)/ Treat HUEY (USA) bt (2) CHRAMOSTA Ladislav (CZE)/ LUSTIG Daniel (CZE) 62 62

So Somis's juggernaut continues … That also comeback win in the first set … Buji is class apart … I m now eagerly waiting for May 2008 when he will turns pro.

Very solid performance to win doubles title beating top 2 pairs … I think pair of Buji and Huey having decent chance of performing well regularly on tour also.

Some part of the match report - (from Zoo Tennis)
I was told that Paul's forehand was hitting every line in the first five games, and he had a 4-1 lead when I arrived. With Devvarman serving at 2-5, it was 0-30, but he held, broke Paul for 4-5, saved a set point with a forehand winner in that game, then both players held easily to reach the tiebreaker.

Paul took a 4-1 lead in the tiebreaker, but Devvarman found another gear. A perfect lob winner at 5-5 gave him his first set point, which he won as a result of an outstanding return, and he went on to take the next 13 points. It was the second point of the second set's fourth game before Paul won another point, and by then Devvarman had assured himself a 7-6 (5), 6-1 victory.
