At Davis Cup 2014 - Group I Asia/Oceania -1st Round, Indore, India

India vs Chinese Taipei 1-0

Day One
[M1] Yuki Bhambri (IND,173) bt Tsung-Hua Yang (TPE,216) 64 64 67(1) 63
[M2] Somdev Devvarman (IND,103) vs Ti Chen (TPE,284) 67(4) 76(3) 16 62 7-7 (stopped due to bad light)

I was hoping easy win for Buji but he struggled in this match from the start ... He was leading in the first set 4-2 but failed to hold advantage and then lost it in tie-break ... In the second set also Buji take 4-1 early lead again failed to kept the advantage but this time he won tie-break ... In the third set Ti Chen out performed Buji and won it comfortably ... Buji made strong comeback and won the fourth set ... In the decider Buji was break up and serving for the match at 5-3 ... Buji had 3 match points at 40-0 but he somehow managed to lose his serve after wasting 3 match points ... Then again Buji had match point on Ti Chen's serve in 10th game which he again failed to convert ... After fourteen games from fifth set match was stopped due to bad light.

Before this Yuki started comfortably and won first 2 sets but little lapse in concentration and his usual cramping trouble cost him the third set ... Yuki regained his focus and won fourth set to give India 1-0 lead ... Yuki need to work hard on his fitness and first serve.
