[R1] Yuki Bhambri (IND,220) l Darian King (BAR,163) 26 63 36

Yuki lost in three sets against Darian King in his comeback match after more than six months injury lay-off ... In the first set Yuki struggled with his service games ... Dariean broke him in 3rd game for leading 1-2 but Yuki immediately broke him for 2-all ... After that Darian broke him in 5th and 7th games for winning this set ... In the second set Yuki started to serve better and with Darian's break of serve in 6th game he won this set ... In the final set Darian broke Yuki in 4th game for 1-4 lead and kept that advantage for winning this match ... Overall good required long match for Yuki, but only need to check that where he will be having any niggle or sor/ inflated after the match.
