Excellent start for Yuki as he scored dominating win against America's one of brightest youngster in straight sets ... In the first set Kozlov failed to hold his serve but broke Yuki once ... In the second set also Yuki was crusing for one-sided score, 4-1, but suddenly he started to make few unforced errors ... Kozlov took this opportunity for making it 4-all ... Yuki broke Kozlov in 9th game and then hold for easy win ... Next he is facing Serbian Pedja Krstin.

Saki was injured in this match as he took medical time out in between ... I am worried about Saki's injury as it is hampering his progress in the beginning of year.
