Somdev said after the match that he studied Wisnu’s movements on the court and adjusted to the game accordingly. “Wisnu approached the net but nothing materialised as I prevailed over him with winners on either side of the court,” Somdev said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Yuki played his rallies to perfection and outdid Rungkat in a battle which lasted for nearly two hours. After winning the first set 6-3, Yuki made Rungkat stretch for the returns and won the second set 6-2. Yuki broke Rungkat twice in the third set and brought up his win with two stunning aces which Rungkat failed to reach.<\/p>\n
