Prajnesh will play 19 year old Denis Shapovalov (CAN, 25) at 5:30pm on Centre Court. Shapovalov doesn’t have much experience on grass courts, so Prajnesh should use his experience on these courts to good effect. I expect a sensational upset from Gunneswaran tomorrow!

After Shapovalov, Prajnesh will need to win one more match before playing Federer (assuming the latter wins his first match).

This evening in Europe, two Indian men will be playing Centre Court matches at ATP grass tournaments at about the same time in two different countries. Delicious!

The Haas-Karlovic match goes to the third set after two tiebreakers, so Yuki's match should start after about 45 minutes or so, right after 5 pm at Den Bosch (sHertogenbosch).

Looks like Prajnesh's match at Stuttgart should be starting about half our later at 5:30 pm.

Ankita Raina is in the doubles draw at Manchester 100k tournament. Its good she will get some much needed match practice and hopefully a couple of wins on grass to get things going again. But I hope she doesn't go too far in the draw and miss qualifying of the next event.
Prarthana is there as well, seeded 4th along with Luksika kumkhum.

2-2 in the first set of Yuki’s match.

Any pointers to live streaming?

Grass is Yuki's worst surface. Grass is for the cows.

Yuki is broken. 2-3.
He seems to be struggling to return Medvedev’s serve at the moment, and the latter’s 1st serve percentage is 90%.

Yuki finally got to return some and had a 30-40 BP on Medvedev, but he came up with an ace and held there. 2-4. Yuki holds rather easily this time. 3-4 and facing serve.

Yuki has taped his knee but the commentator says he has managed to move properly despite that niggle. Yuki managed to hold and make it 3-4 but the Russian to serve now. Not many people in the stands either. Dull so far

Medvedev service is too much to handle for Yuki. He did manage to take it to 30 all but the serves and forehands from Danil were too good.

Edit: Yuki takes a medical timeout for his right knee. Start of second set, Yuki to serve

Yuki served well but lost the first set 4-6. He had one break chance, but couldn’t convert, while Daniil grabbed the first break chance he had.

Yuki serves his first two double faults, and drops serve in the 3rd game, again. 4-6 1-2 ... Just when it looked like things were pretty even, suddenly he drops serve.
