Now there is something exciting brewing..

Sumit squares off to take S2 @3

Can he complete a monumental win.

Go Sumit!!

^^^ Bops is not the # 1 as his partner has overtaken hom and shall remain there for some time or probably will remain this way with Ebden in front, ( not sure as need to check the drop off points) And singles is always the real deal, Dbls Masters title gets few post but as we saw every singles win l...

^^^ This new crop of Chinese girls is purely a LI NA effect, the trail blazer has truly inspired a generation of phenomenal talents.

Looking at Rune's erratic form this year plus his less Red Clay exposure, I dare to dream a straight sets win for Sumit.

A days rest was most welcome and am sure his coach must be saying the right things to him on how to go about.

Assured of USD47k , and win over Rune will fetch him USD88k and a ranking of around 72.

Think the last guy for us who notched wins in a row at an ATP, guess was Somdev. Ram did it with his 4 wins at Newport but that was a 250 and a huge difference in the opponents rankings as compared to Monte Carlo. Plus this is a 1000, and to notch 3 wins in a row at a 1000 is simply huge and sweet. ...

^^^^, As i wrote earlier Monte Carlo happens quickly after the hard court biggies in USA and only hard core claycourters just wating for the starting opening bell for Europe Red Clay make the immediate switch to red clay (as is the case of Sumit) where as the rest take it slowly in the build up to t...

^^^ Ok ...and as you said it was only once hence I never had it in my mind about RK at Monte Carlo.

And the name Thierry Tulasne brings back so many memories , was touted as the next Bjorn Borg when in 1980 as a 16 year old beat the defending champion Vitas Gerulaitis at the Italian Open.

as I don't think any Indian has managed to make it to the main draw of singles there since the Ramesh Krishnan days. As far as I can remember RK never turned up at Monte Carlo, used to continue play in the US, after Miami,IW or if not US would play the HC's in Europe Unlike Sumit the dyed in wool R...

NCH # 91 in the live rankings.
MD entry would get him to #87

Yes he's done it.. what a win, that too in straight sets, kept his nerves and continued the dominance in S2 and didn't cave in which i had feared.

In the process earns nearly to the amount that of winning a 100k challenger.

Wow.. Sumit takes the opening set at 2

Hope he dosen't mess it up and completes a famous win.

Why is Sumit screaming at his box like Djokovic? Yes Djoker started this silly fad, where he screams and the coach just looks at him with a silly look on his face, then rest of players thought it is nice and cool to ape Novak A match which Sumit should have won , and got broken when he was 40-15 up
