[R5] Somdev Devvarman (IND,164) vs Lukas Rosol (CZE,85)

I was hoping different Yuki in this match but again Yuki struggled with his game in the match ... In the first set Yuki got broken early and Jiri kept that advantage for winning it ... In the second set Yuki tried hard but in this set he missed multiple break point chances ... Jiri took crucial break in 11th game for winning this set ... In the third set also Yuki's erratic game cost him first game on his serve ... Jiri again broke Yuki in third game to lead 4-0 ... Jiri kept that lead for competing victory and also giving tie to Czech Republic.

Here is sum of Yuki's performance in this tie - Lack of consistency in his game, poor backhand, poor return of serve, unintelligent shots selection, poor own serve in crucial juncture and going for finishing point early ... Also our shocking loss in the doubles against Czech pair was frustrating.
