Brands just gifted away the second set to Saki. He served as many as 10 double faults in last 2 service games and the tiebreaker.
He had 5 match points in total 2 of which were on his on serve and he double faulted both

Re: Kazakh/Uzbek Challengers, June 2018
Not a bad match for Saki against former top-50 caliber Daniel Brands ... Brands broke Saki in the 12th game when he was serving for staying in the match and completed victory in almost 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Re: Kazakh/Uzbek Challengers, June 2018
After being 4-2 up in the final set, Saketh lost 5 out of next 6 games. Still Saki showed that he is pretty much back to playing at top 200 level now.
Hope Arjun takes the doubles title and enters top 200. He clearly has top 100 or even top 50 level potential in doubles.

A big opportunity lost by Saketh. He needs to deseparately move up to top-250 (in which he deserves to be) quickly, to make things easier for challenger entries.

Looks like Saketh is not going the easy route of playing the big money and big point Chinese CHs in the coming weeks and instead go to North America.

Yes, Saketh is playing Binghampton and Lexington challenger for the next 2 weeks, tougher than the Chinese challengers which begin from July 30.
