Yuki breaks Millman in the first game of the match. 1-0, Yuki to serve.
Yuki holds, 2-0.
Attacking play from YB makes it Deuce from 40-15, then Ad Bhambri. Game, second break! 3-0
Terrific tennis from Yuki so far, mixing it up beautifully with great passing shots, cross courts, drop shots, the occasional volley. Can he keep it up? (I won’t be able to watch too much longer).

Yuki holds after one deuce, with a beautiful cross court volley winner on the run. 5-3
Yuki breaks at love with some superb play. 6-3, first set in the bag!!

Re: Asian Challengers July-October 2017
I'm watching on the ATP Challenger site. Good quality stuff. I will have to stop watching now. I hope Yuki doesn't let Millman back into the match in the second set. YB is playing at a substantially higher level (similar to how he played Monfils), with confidence and aggression.

[QF] 4-Yuki Bhambri (IND, 142) vs. 8-John Millman (AUS, 218) 63 02
YB is broken at 30 at the start of the second set (inadvisable foray to the net on BP, passed; previous point was lost after a long rally when he tried to lob Millman when both players were at net). 0-1
Millman holds at 15. 0-2

Re: Asian Challengers July-October 2017
Just started watching and not looking good in the 2nd set.
1-4 double break on what can only be described as the mother of bad games

Re: Asian Challengers July-October 2017
Yuki is broken again because his net forays aren't going well (too many UFEs on overhead volleys). 1-4
But he gets one break back, breaking at 30. 2-4

Re: Asian Challengers July-October 2017
Alhough he is double break down but he is showing some top 50 class for sure....terrific shots
Beautiful movements on both flanks
All the matches i have watched so far of yuki these two weeks have been something different

3-4 0-30 and Millman in all sorts of trouble, struggling to get a 1st serve in and Yuki let's him get away with it with some terrible shots.

Re: Asian Challengers July-October 2017
3-6 2 DFs gave the game away. Needed to hold there to serve 1st in the decider.
Both are playing error strewn tennis. It's a case of who makes the fewer errors. Yuki takes a bathroom break which doesn't bode well.
Loooong break...Millman has been out on court pacing around for ages
