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.

Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
