As a continuation to yesterday's post...
Somdev Devvarman ends up beating the World No. 25 and last year's Citi Open Champion, Alexandr Dolgopolov, with a score of 6-3, 7-6. This is definitely one of the best victories Somdev accomplished to date and he did it in a very decisive fashion.
Somdev has earned around 100 ATP points so far in this tournament and this will put him closer to the Top-100 range. As I have mentioned yesterday Somdev will most likely end up playing against John Isner, they were both rivals in the NCAA tennis circuit and faced each other in the 2007 NCAA Championship. Somdev was the underdog in 2007 and he ended up upsetting Isner who was a No. 1 seed. I am sure this will be an awesome match up to watch, mainly because Isner knows Somdev's game and he will be ready for this re-match.
To Isner's credit he is much improved since his college days (as is Somdev), he is currently ranked No. 22 in the world so we can certainly consider him to be the favorite in this match up. If Somdev can muster up enough energy from his tank to beat Isner this will be an amazing run for the Indian.
Win or lose in the next match, we know for sure that Somdev is back!!! May be even as a better player...
