More a case of Delev's lack of doubles pedigree.

On another note, oh boy...

Gerry Weber Open II
PTA World Tour 250 - Tuesday (1st Round) - Halle,

Germany - Grass

After two wins in as many matches against Carlo Amato, Brett Read was on the receiving end of a wakeup call in Germany as he fell to the eighth seed in straight sets. With a tough month finally catching up to him, Read was wiped off the court by the Italian who hit winners at will against a lethargic looking West CWLander. Taking the victory inside of an hour, Amato looked in sterling form as he cruised past Read 6-0, 6-1 to set up a quarter final showdown with Argentina's Paolo Mandonna.

Seeded players out: None.

There was some redemption for Read in the doubles as he and Sven Oxenstierna made the most of their wildcard entry to beat fourth seeds Marzio Claverini and Dênis Rodrígues. In an entertaining match, Oxenstierna and Read dropped the first set and were forced to save three match points in the second set tiebreaker which they claimed 11-9. In the match tiebreaker, the Westerners needed just one match point to secure a victory 3-6, 7-6(9), [10-8] and set up a quarter final meeting with David Kestenholz and Daniel Zwygart of Germany.

Seeded players out: Marzio Claverini & Dênis Rodrígues; Artem Krohmal & Merab Shvelidze.
