In the first set Yuki was totally off-color and was playing erratic game ... From the second set he played little better but still not his best tennis ... In the third set he was struggling with cramps ... His team to need work on his fitness and importantly his sudden terrible play in the match.
As expected Sanam played in the last rubber ... Sanam struggled with his serve early in the match ... He made numerous double faults but Artem served more poorly to lose the first set and in the second set Sanam was terrific form ... He won this set breaking Artem 3 times ... So clean 5-0 win for India.
