Somdev Devvarman recorded a brilliant come-from-behind win over Pavol Cervenak to storm into the quarterfinals of the USD 125,000 ATP Challenger event in Seoul, Korea but it was all over for Prakash Amritraj.

Fourth-seeded Somdev came back from a set down to beat the Slovak 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the second-round of the hard court event.

Prakash, however, went down tamely 1-6, 3-6 against second seed and Davis Cupper Yen-Hsun Lu.

Somdev, who is out of the doubles event after losing in the first-round, next faces Czech Republic’s Dusan Lojda.

Prakash’s challenge is over in doubles event as well as he and partner Marin ko Matosevic lost the opening round 4-6, 4-6 against the top-seeded Thai pair of Sanchai and Sonchat Ratiwatana.

Also biting dust was Purav Raja, who along with Australian partner Sadik Kadir, lost his first-round match 7-5, 2-6, 8-10 to the Japanese pair of Hiroki Kondo and GO Soeda.
