Superb victory by Yuki, that also third set tie-break against big server who had home crowd support ... Sweet victory on first day of Diwali ... :-)

Somi also started well with winning in straight sets and showed last loss against Alex Bogomolov Jr. was fluke for Alex.

Somi is facing same opponent whom he defeated in CWG final to win Gold medal, that time score was 64 62 ... Yuki having tough match, he already played 4 matches and 10 sets ... Hopefully he will be fresh for the match.
