[Q3] (27) Somdev Devvarman (IND,161) l (12) Blaz Kavcic (SLO,126) 36 67(4)

Somi's struggle with his service games continued in this match ... In 5th game he broke Kavcic's serve in 5th game but after that he lost 4 games on row, where his serve broken twice, to lose first set ... In second set also Somi got broken early and was down 1-3 ... In 5th game he was 15-40 down on his serve, then he saved 2 break points to hold his serve and broke Kavcic's serve in next game to make it 3-all ... Then again he broke Kavic to lead 5-3 but again while serving for the set his service let him down ... He got broken and then second set went into tie-break where initially they exchanged mini-breaks ... But Kavcic take important mini-break on 8th point to lead 3-5 and that turned out crucial as he served it out to won this match.

Somi had big opprtunity of qualifying for main draw with this weak draw ... I feel this time he lost that opportunity due to poor service games ... I wish Somi's team look into this matter as early as possible,
