He's playing Top 50 tennis now.

Good, I cannot watch right now, just observing the scores. Important to sustain that level .

[Sanjay]

The catch is he needs to sustain it.

I hate players talking to their coaches during matches. Bub is yakking away at his people. Ridiculous. Djoko also does this, screaming at them sometimes.
Never was done earlier in the 80s.

[sameerph]

Sumit up a break 2-0 in second set.

[Sanjay]

Is Sumit that good or is Bublik that inept??

[sameerph]

[Prem]

Wonderful start by Sumit.
Wins second set 6-2
Hope he can continue the momentum and win it in straight sets.

[arjun2761]

Sumit up 6-4, 6-2. Playing very well and forcing errors from Bublik as well as hitting some winners. Bublik does seem irritated but mostly because he’s being outplayed. Players off court now.

[arjun2761]

Down 1-2 on serve in 3rd set. Still winning from backcourt but making more ufe of his own.

Now 2-3, still on serve. Bublik playing better.


Sumit breaks for 4-3!!

Sumit holds for 5-3!!!

Now 5-4.

5-5. Very tentative game from Sumit.
