French Open 2018

[sameerph]

Phew, Yuki holds after a long service game for 4-2.

[PKBasu]

Bemelmans holds after one Deuce. 4-3 second set.

[Omkara]

Yuki broken

[sameerph]

Yes and Bemelman holds for 5-4. Now, Yuki has to serve to stay in the set.

[Sin Hombre]

Yuki is going to lose with the amount of nerves he appears to be showing.

[PKBasu]

Yuki is broken at 15. He went down 0-30 after an awful backhand UFE near the net (an easy shot he shouldn't have missed). And got a bad net chord at 15-40. 4-4.
Bemelmans holds at 30. 4-5 second set.

[Sin Hombre]

He has lost the second set.

Very poor performance and time to stop watching this.

[sameerph]

Yuki is going to lose with the amount of nerves he appears to be showing.

True. I fully expected him to lose his serve serving at 4-5 and he does the same. He just does not seem to have any confidence now especially on his own serve.

[PKBasu]

Yuki plays another poor 10th game of a set, and is down by 2 sets. Bemelmans has a large cheering section. Where the heck are all the Indian in Paris? There seem to be about 4 Indians in this small court, and the rest are loudly behind the Belgian.

[RohitG]

Looks like the crowd has gotten into his head. Hardly any support for him.. The scoreline is disappointing. I wonder if he has the mental strength now to even imagine winning the next three sets. Otherwise off to grass courts, as we've been discussing for a while

[PKBasu]

Bemelmans holds at love to begin the 3rd set. He seems to be gaining a lot of confidence now. Yuki nearly down and out. 46 46 01

[PKBasu]

To lose in straight sets to a Lucky Loser is about as bad as it can get. Come on Yuki. He is down 0-2 after being broken at 15.
And Bemelmans holds at love. 0-3
Disgraceful play. Up 30-0, he played absolute crap, including one DF, and one pathetic squash shot. He's given up! 0-4

Yuki had a couple (or 3) break point chances on Bemelman's serve, but played them poorly. Then at Deuce, he had five easy volley opportunities but played each poorly and lost the point. 0-5

[prasen9]

This is disgraceful to not prepare and then play lackadaisically. Maybe the ATP should pay big money only from the second round. Or something.

[knarayen]

Yuki's mind is not on this match....he is not engaging to win.

He is going to be blanked 0-6 in the 3rd set - sad part is that he could have won this and made more money - Bemelmans has nothing to hurt Yuki with.

[PKBasu]

Yuki finally holds, fighting back from 15-40. 1-5
