At $125K+H Kaohsiung Challenger, Chinese Taipei

[R1] Yuki Bhambri (IND,308) l (6) Marco Chiudinelli (SUI,146) 62 57 60

Marco Chiudinelli didnot give chance to Yuki settled in the match ... He broke Yuki twice in the first set ... In the second set also Marco Chiudinelli take early control breaking Yuki in 1st game and 5th game to lead 4-1 ... But from here Yuki produced excellent fight back ... He broke Marco in 6th and 8th games to make it 4-all and then take crucial break in 12th game for winning the second set ... After Yuki's excellent comeback in the second I was expecting exciting last set but surprisingly Yuki got bagelled in the third set ... Shocking melt-down.
