Yes, it is 5th challenger QF appearance for Mukund. Hope he makes it at least to the semis this time round. He rises to 291 in the new ranking system.

With this win, Mukund rises to 297 on the new atp live shadow ranking. Now, he should be able to get direct entry into most of the challengers in 2019 given that draw size would be 48.

Prajnesh is now 119 in new ATP shadow ranking. If he wins Pune, he would rise to about 105 in the new system (about 96 in the old one).

Does Thailand 25K F7 futures belong to this thread? A couple of Indian players are playing there.

If it is not because of an injury, it may be as simple as that he ran into someone with a strong serve and a tremendous return of serve. When one is not able to win any points on one's own serve, its natural for other parts of the game to come apart. With Yuki's currrent serve, it is always going to...

I am planning to visit one or two of the days. Message me when you are there, let's catch up if we happen to be there at the same time.

All four quarter finalists have been playing brilliant tennis this week (Doroshina, Karman, Georgina and Rutuja in that order, Rutuja has good home court support too).

From reports looks like Ramkumar has the best tools of the Indian lot and so often missed potent weapons in his armour. So he may not be the best yet but he is far from peaking, so he may be able to achieve highest future ranking of the Indian lot. IMHO, With some improvements in overall match strat...

This is precisely the type of player that Jimmy Wang is -- a fighter to the end. RamK is young, and is clearly highly competitive at this level: a close loss to #132 is no disgrace, but RamK is the type of guy who is constantly improving and it won't be long before he is beating guys like Wang. Yes...

RamK won 7-6 (5) 2-6 6-4. On to Semifinal.

Somi looked all set to win this with 4-2 lead in the third set. This is when RamK raised his game with solid serves, magnificent forehands and occasional backhand winners (including one top spin pass). Even in last game he came back from 15-40 to win the match. His serve and forehand are very potent...

Saketh is real deal, not so sure about Yuki as far as this tournament is concerned. And I guess, RamK & DuckWorth may hold a surprise or two for this prediction

RamK has a tough one against Richard Bekar. to all.
