And he lost 6-3 6-3. That’s the 6th first round exit for Divij this year.

^^^ Add got wedded with a big crowd during the pandemic, too.

This week;

Sasikumar Mukund faces WR# 682 Kelsey Stevenson in the first round at Cairo Fututes. Should be a straight set win!

We have a couple of Indian participation at the inaugural ATP event in Serbia starting next week.

Bops is partnering Pablo Cuevas and Divij with Aljaz Bedene, both have secured a main draw acceptance.

Sumit is 9 spots out of the qualifying list.

Prajnesh has a tough task ahead facing Jack Sock in R2. Of course, PG beat him last year in 3 sets at the Cary challenger, but I hope he’s able to continue the same form on Thursday.

He must have some other reason to go there. Training. And, perhaps has somebody providing free housing maybe. Otherwise, the numbers are awful. Is he using his doubles PR here? The only reason would be to have some match play, I presume at a reasonably high level. The draw sheet shows he used his P...

Divij is the top seed at the inaugural Belgrade 125 challenger along with another first time partner Santiago Gonzalez. The pair is up against Jonathan Elrich/Andrei Vasilevski.

Prajnesh is the 4th seed in the singles draw and faces Matt Ebden in the first round.

Yuki and Ebden are up against Kudla/Kwiatowski.
Balaji and Jeevan plays Alex Rybakov/Alex Ritschard.

Yay! Go Mukund!!!
