Som beat Kendrick in the final of the Lexington Challanger 3 and 3 after beating Bob Reynolds in R2 6-7, 7-5, 6-4 His "wins" over Malisse and Lu were due to injuries and should not be counted when sizing up Som's potential. In a charity exhibition on clay in July he took home $40K by defeating, in order, Sam Querray in 3 sets, Kendrick again and Dudi Sela 6-2, 6-3 in the final. Exibition or not there were relatively big bucks up for grabs. Still sounds very good for the first 2 months in the pros.
