I found this to be a good read, so sharing.

I am stating the obvious and many of us have discussed it ad nauseam but it really sucks that you can be among the top 200 tennis players in the world and still struggle to make a living.

I watched most parts of the match today as well as his first round win thanks to ESPN3 (ESPN's streaming service in the US). My observations: - For the first time in many many years, there is an Indian player who wasn't overpowered by top 100 players (at least in these two matches). Have seen too ma...

Arjun seems to be the replacement

I just looked up the teams on the Davis cup website and don't see Yuki in there

An article from NYtimes yesterday provides some additional perspective and info on behind-the-scene politics. This came out yesterday, before the vote. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/14/sports/davis-cup-itf.html Radical Changes to Davis Cup Will Be Up for Vote This Week By Christopher Clarey Aug. 1...

Google claims it is tomorrow, first up. Google is showing all R128 matches to start by default tomorrow at the day's start time (11 am or whatever it is) so what you are looking at there isn't accurate I just looked at the schedule on the app and Yuki isn't on the schedule on day 1. French open has...

Also, on the app, draw is called 'tables'

Guys, try the roland garros app. Looks like the app has all the regular stuff (schedule of play, draw, live scores etc) although arranged differently than in the past. The website either doesn't have everything or it is harder to find.

Zhang growing in confidence while Yuki continues to be up and down. Zhang holds at the start of the second.

I am going to stop watching and reporting now

Yuki finally wins a game after losing 5 on the trot to hold. Zhang to serve at 5-3. Finally a bit more determined and purposeful body language. Breaks Zhang at love to bring it back on serve. 4-5. Two double faults, a forehand UFE and a well played point from Zhang all contribute to another poor gam...

The match has resumed. Yuki holds to go up 2-0 Zhang holds. It is 2-1 with Yuki to serve next. Yuki is broken at love. On the first point he makes an error by not hitting through the ball and then Zhang goes for his shots on the next 3 points and makes all of them. It is 2-2 now. More errors from Yu...

They are drying up the court now, so hopefully it will resume soon

Madrid altitude is also a factor (right?) since the balls tend to fly and Rafa has not been as successful in Madrid as he has been in Paris/Barcelona/Monte Carlo etc.

I didn't watch the match but going by all the Thiem played super aggressive.

The previous match on that court just got over. So Yuki's match should start in another 10-15 minutes.

You can watch it on the watchespn app as well. It comes free with most cable subscriptions as I am sure everyone in US is aware.
