At Australian Open 2016, Melbourne
[R1] Yuki Bhambri (IND,95) l (6) Tomas Berdych (CZE,6) 57 16 26
Two days back after reading Yuki's interview in Indian daily I remembered the idiom, “He talks the talk, but can he walk the walk?” ... And I get answer after today's match ... My observations after the match, Yuki requires more juice in his serve as he continuously managed to serve in 170s only ... He needs to work on his fitness to remain fit throughout the year ... Missing off-season will give him trouble in progressing ahead in 2017 ... He really need to work hard for reaching inside top-50.
About this match, Yuki started tentatively and lost his serve in 2nd game to down 0-3 ... Yuki broke Berdych in 7th game for bringing the set on serve, 3-4 ... But around 9th game Yuki started to check his right arm and once about injury doubt creeped in his mind then his game declined ... Berdych won 14 games out of next 17 games for straight sets win ... He broke Yuki in 12th game for winning the first set and after that it was almost walk in a park for Berdych.

Doubles
[R1] Divij Sharan (IND)/ Maximilian Neuchrist (AUT) bt James Cerretiani (USA)/ Toshihide Matsui (JPN) 76(5) 62
Buji loss in three hours after playing closely fought match against almost 250 ranked Spanish opponent Batalla ... In this match Buji hit 19 aces, he had 10 break points including couple of match points despite he found a way for losing this match ... Now it looks more mental struggle than physical one ... This year all three loses are close one so he is failing to cross last hurdle ... Dy by day it looks difficult to see Buji back in top-100 but I am hoping he will once again prove me wrong to achieve that.
VSP is playing really well and score another hard fought win over Korean opponent Kim in three sets ... Next he is facing former top-50 type Swiss player Marco Chiudinelli, really tough match for VSP.
In the doubles Divij scores his first win of new season with Neuchrist in straight sets.
