Our Preparedness is in Shambles. Last week our family was on a Holiday in the same region. And routinely our driver would honk at the military convoy/vehicles and even overtake them Where in the world can one honk at the military , leave alone overtaking them. Pathetic state of Affairs..... Did you...

Pathetic state of Affairs.....

Yes broken at crucial times , even had break point earlier but couldnot convert , and now down a set.
Seems so quite here , compared to earlier days ...hardly seems like DC match is in progress.

Last year Berrettini has victories over Jack Sock and Dustin Brown on Grass , and at Halle where he beat Dustin Brown , Seppi went on to beat him to advance further.

Considering his uninspiring form on grass , Barazuttii replaces their top player, 16 ranked Cecchinato with a 50th ranked Marteo Berrrettini , so Seepi becomes their # 1 and faces Ram in the opener, and Berrettni against Pragnesh in the second . The first match is going to be very crucial , and now ...

So Mahesh will start with Prajnesh and Ram to open the proceedings https://www.thehindu.com/sport/tennis/india-vs-italy-davis-cup-qualifier-match-kolkata/article26127767.ece Looking at the Italians , their number #1 Player Marco Cechinato has played only 2 grass courts tournaments in 2018 and only 1...

Interview of Prajnesh in the below link. But the worrying part is Zeeshan's comments; who finds the court very slow compared to the past, which means do we have a Wimbledon type of a playing surface. If so the Italians would find it much to their liking. https://m.telegraphindia.com/sport/in-best-of...

Corrado Bazarutti implying they are not the underdogs nor the favourites for the tie , and also blasts the new DC format.

There are two back-to-back challengers in Bangkok so probably he'll be there for the next week too. Rohit yes you were right !! , after the first leg at Bangkok he has also entered the 2nd leg at Bangkok and once again he is the top seed there. These 3 challengers are going to be very crucial for h...

Ram continues his involvement at ATP 250's and after New York will be at Delray Beach where he has made the qualifying cut.

Mahesh has put the onus on Ram & Prajnesh to deliver .. and in the below article has hinted LP is still in the scheme of things . https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/tennis/top-stories/prajnesh-gunneswaran-ramkumar-ramanathan-need-to-believe-in-their-ability-mahesh-bhupathi/articleshow/677186...

I would prefer taking this risk over Prajnesh, Had it been clay or hard courts PG would be a preferred logical choice , But on grass Saki has much better attributes in terms of serve and volleying skills and big serves ,but all of this subject to his fitness level.and if he is fit , it might be wort...

Just to think outside the box, it might be worthwhile to consider Saki for the second singles,  as Saki has a better grass court game and is a natural serve and volleyer with a big serve,  But this option would be subject to Saki being 100% fit and the Captain could determine his fitness level durin...

Sin and Jai , Prasen is correct about 3 individuals sounding same phonetically and that was precisely I was implying about this rarity , And it was all about the Chinese getting confused  due to these similar sounding names inspite different spellings

Tomorrow 2 Indian origin players aim for their maiden GS titles “Rajeev Ram” & “Astra Sharma” , Hope the B RamAstra weapon deals a lethal blow on their opponents. Combining of names reminds me of funny incident which happened couple of months ago in Shenzen , Myself , Ram & Rajeev Ram were travellin...
