Yuki Bhambri -great potential

Just saw Yuki Bhambri lose against Janko Tipsarevic 1-6, 3-6.
The first set - he probably was still getting used to the fact that he was playing against somebody that outranked him (345 to 9 ) so hugely. Towards the end of the set he started showing some color that was heartening.
The second set - was an entirely different story. He fought back very well.
His two-handed backhand cross courts were pretty accurate and kept Tipsarevic in check.
His skills at running around his backhand ( once even in a service return!) are awesome. Whenever he took Janko on for long, he did have pretty good success. His strokes - drop shots, forehands and backhands were a treat to watch.
He lost out repeatedly to Janko's super-accurate down-the-line shots that always seemed to hit the lines.
 
His serves really need some work - 150-160km/hr against Janko's 190km/hr with the first serve, and 120km/hr second serves. He still did pretty good damage with them on the ad court where he repeatedly ran around his backhand and hit winners.
But his performance against Janko's serve also requires some work.
His fitness levels look pretty good - doesn't seem to tire even after the long rallies he was having with Janko.

Yuki - here's wishing a great year ahead to you - and hope you scale great heights. This new fan will surely be around to cheer you!  :)
