Somdev Rolls On
Friday, July 25 2008 by Tim
Former Cavalier Somdev Devvarman has continued his winning ways this week, winning 5 matches in the Lexington Challenger (also known as the confusingly named Fifth Third Bank Tennis Championships).
Somdev (#566 in the world) won three matches over the weekend to qualify for the main draw.
In the first round of the main draw, he defeated Great Britain’s Jamie Baker (#266 in the world) 7-5, 6-2.
By defeating Baker, Somdev earned the right to play the tournament’s second seed, Bobby Reynolds of the United States (#92 in the world). Well, that proved to be no problem for the two-time NCAA singles champion. It took three sets, but he finally wore down Reynolds who made three errors in the final set. Somdev beat him 6-7 (4), 7-5, 6-4.
I’m not keeping a very accurate score, but I feel like this makes him 19-0 since turning pro. Not a bad start.
I won’t be near a computer over the weekend, but hopefully Tiki or someone will update with how he does in the quarterfinals and beyond.

Perhaps that was poorly worded. I'll be out of town and won't have any of MY computers near me, and likely won't be using anyone else's.
Better? :)
Ask , and ye shall receive.  Somdev continued his success at the Fifth Third Bank Tennis Championships, defeating Italy’s Andrew Stoppini in straight sets.  Stoppini was ranked 249th internationally. Somdev was behind 5-1 in the first set and
Won't be near a computer? There are computers everywhere. You could go to Siberia and still be near a computer.
