Somdev gets tricky opener in French Open

By The Assam Tribune

PARIS, May 22 (PTI): Somdev Devvarman has got a tricky opener in the French Open singles as he has been drawn against world number 65 Marco Chiudinelli of Switzerland.

It is Somdev, who leads the head-to-head count 1-0 but that win in Dubai in February this year was a hard-earned one. If Somdev manages to beat Chiudinelli in the first round, he will probably meet American 17 seed and world number 19 John Isner in the second round.

Somdev had beaten big-serving Isner in 2007 to win his maiden NCAA championship title in US.

But Somdev and Isner have not clashed on Tour even once after turning professionals.

Isner is up against Andrey Golubev of Kazakhstan in his opening round.
