The score was 7-6/6-7/10-4. However, in the finals Huey and Somdev had no such luck against the No. 3 seeded pair of MarkKnowles of the Bahamas and Xavier Malisse of Belarus and lost in back-to-back tie-breaks 6-7/6-7. . In the semis Huey and Somdev nosed ahead after a stiff first set but could not stop their opponents from stretching the match to the Super Tie break. However they prevailed over the Israelis, scoring points when it mattered most. Philippine Tennis Association?s Davis Cup official Randy Villanueva told the Daily Inquirer that ?this is Huey?s best showing so far on a big ATP world tour event.?
