India vs New Zealand 1-1
Day One
[R1] Somdev Devvarman (IND,148) l Michael Venus (NZL,548) 64 64 36 36 16

Day Three
[R4] Somdev Devvarman (IND,148) vs Jose Statham (NZL,345)
[R5] Yuki Bhambri (IND,151) vs Michael Venus (NZL,548)
Yuki score dominating win over New Zealand #1 Jose Statham ... Importantly this win was huge after shocking loss of Somdev ... Yuki played solid tennis, he lost only six points on his serve in the match without facing a single break point ... With this win India equalize tie 1-all.
Before this Buji lost his match against 500+ Michael Venus ... How Buji lost this match is big puzzle ... He started well and win first 2 sets but after that he lost next three sets ... I really hope he comeback from this loss ... Now tomorrow's doubles match is really important for this tie.
