Eric Butorac - "It was great. We've never played together before. We started out a little slow and kind of got better with each match. I think we're a pretty good team. We both serve pretty good. I'm left-handed, he's right-handed so there's different looks on the serve. It's a good situation to be in."

Comments about match from thesabre.com -
Somdev looked good - hit 131mph once on an ace which was pretty cool and he just missed on another serve that hit 130mph ... Go was a good player and came up with some big winners on some balls that Somdev left short a few times ... Somdev hit 2 AMAZING passing shots - can tell he really likes a target at the net.
