New Delhi: India's top seed Somdev Devvarman breezed into the men's singles quarterfinals with a thumping 6-0 6-1 win over unseeded Sri Lankan Amresh Jayawickreme in the second round of the tennis competition of the Commonwealth Games.
It was not more than a stroll in the park for Somdev as he mowed down the unranked Jayawickreme in just 41 minutes.
The Lankan hardly posed a challenge to Somdev and surrendered without any fight. He lost points even when he was in advantageous position in few of the games.
He was up 40-0 in the first game but could not pocket it, committing far too many unforced errors, to hand Somdev a break.
The India wrapped up the opening set in just 20 minutes.
The Sri Lankan, however, managed to hold on to his serve in the first game of the second set to prevent a whitewash.
Somdev will next take on the winner of the match between Scotland's Colin Fleming and Rubin Statham of New Zealand.
Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna are also scheduled to play their singles second round matches today.
