Mumbai: Somdev Dev Varman demolished the 281st ranked Spanish player Gillermo Olaso 6-3, 6-2 to enter the second round of the $125,000 ATP Challenger men’s event in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, on Monday.

However, Davis Cupper and wild card entrant Rohan Bopanna crashed out losing to top-seeded Hsun Yen Lu of Chinese Taipei. He outplayed Bopanna 6-4, 6-2 in an hour and six minutes.

Somdev broke Olaso in the sixth game to take the first set. Going with the momentum, he broke his rival twice — in the third and seventh games — to wrap up the match.

In the second round Somdev will take on the winner of the match between Latvian Deniss Pavlovs and Russian Alexandre Kudryavtsev.
