At 125K+H Prostejov Challenger, Czech Republic (Red Clay)

[R1] Somdev Devvarman (IND,108) l (Q) Nicolas Renavand (FRA,657) 57 67(3)

Tough loss and no words of support for Somi's loss against #657 ranked player ... He should played at Nottingham on the grass, where first round exit also gave him opportunity of getting hang up on the grass before important grass courts tournaments ... Waste of week and opportunity.
