Coach Brian Boland said Somdev came into the match prepared and focused and that his serve helped him win a lot of free points.

"Early on, JP was serving well too. But as the match went along, he got fewer first serves in and Somdev was able to take advantage of it, hitting the ball deep and keeping JP off the net where he likes to play," Boland said.
"It was on serve at 4-3 in the first when JP had a bit of a loose game and Somdev broke him. That was the turning point because it gave Somdev all the momentum and he never gave it up."
