Somdev, with 562 points, continues to be India's numero uno singles player but the gap between him and second highest ranked Prakash Amritraj is widening as the latter is now placed 209, a loss of three places.
Somdev, playing in his maiden ATP Tour event final, lost in straight sets to Marin Cilic of Croatia, on Saturday. In the doubles, Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes hung on to their sixth and 10th position respectively.
