Japan comfortably defeated Uruguay in the first tie in Group B at the 2020 ATP Cup when they did not lose a set.
Japan has to play at the inaugural ATP Cup without their main weapon, Kei Nishikori. Former world number 4 withdrew from the tournament and so the Japanese team does have a hard task ahead of them.
And they started perfectly. First, Go Soeda defeated Martin Cuevas in just 74 minutes 6-1 and 6-3. Yoshihito Nishioka added another comfortable victory when he lost just one game to Pablo Cuevas. Nishioka won 6-0 and 6-1 in just 55 minutes.
Having already earned a victory in the tie, Japan also dominated in doubles. Matsui & McLachlan defeated Behar & Pablo Cuevas in 81 minutes 7-6 and 6-4. On Monday, Japan will be playing against Georgia for a chance to advance into the quarterfinal.

- He's a Cool Dude (and very funny guy). Always fun to be in the presence of Tomasz. Something he mentioned here is what many who have coached at any level can relate to -- "the crazy parents committee". It relates to my coaching experiences in kid's sports. My #1 complaint about coaching kids is Problem Parents!! It can be a very abusive, even violent situation with many parents when it comes to their kid's sports. In the end, it was no longer worth the potential (all too common) altercations for me and I quit. But thanks to Tomasz, I now have a name for those (you?) people: The Crazy Parents Committee.mandoist26-09-2024
