At $10K USA F16 Futures, Pittsburgh, PA

Final -
(7) Somdev Dev Varman (IND,793) bt Travis Helgeson (USA,1010) 63 61

Doubles Final -
Somdev Dev Varman (IND)/ Treat Huey (USA) bt EL MIHDAWY Adam (USA)/ WILLIAMS Rhyne (USA) 63 62

And another easy victory for another title in 2 weeks ... So last 2 weeks earned him 24 pts to move his ranking around #550 in 14th July singles ranking.

Really creditable for any player to win double crown 2 weeks in a row in US Futures ... That also without dropping any set in his singles matches.

With that 2 weeks of dominance in US $10K clay futures is over ... So now mostly Somi will move to challengers and hopefully dominate there.
