Somdev overcame a sluggish start to carve out a heroic 1-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 win after battling hard for three hours and 37 minutes as he dished out a memorable win.

After being drubbed in the first set, Somdev showed amazing strength in his legs and an intelligent brain in his head as he regrouped amazingly to counter a very good opponent, who had reached French Open pre-quarterfinals this season.

Somdev saved eight breakpoints in the second set to revive his and India's chances and switched to serve and volley at crucial junctures, surprising his opponent.

Lajovic had dictated terms with his huge service game, at the start but after receiving treatment in his left leg after the second set he lost his rhythm, giving Somdev chance to gather his game.

Scenes of epic celebrations were seen after the match. Somdev later said that Leander Paes and Rohan Bopanna (L) winning the doubles event had inspired him not to give up.

Although he managed to help India tie Serbia 2-2, Yuki Bhambri lost his match to help Serbians emerge as eventual winners.
