@Atithee, if Ms Balu's exploits confused you, then just go up one post about Dev Javia, a promising youngster got out of Junior ranks last year and who  has adapted to the Indian Principles & Ideology of Doubles with alacrity and makes the Dbls Finals of M25 in Croatia. Ahhh.. our marauding Doubles ...

And the so called phenom or no pushover player , meekly and quietly bow's out in straight sets 3 & 4 without any fight to a 215 ranked opponent...
Man , still not got over the missed opportunity by Ram.

Would not be surprised to see Ram loose his next game? I too had that same fear, as crunch time on cusp of breakthrough he simply falters without fail, it has nothing to do playing a young phenom excuse (there are many like him) he was purely a green horn miles away in rankings Ram should have easy...

What a golden opportunity for Ram to reach the FQR, when he takes on a 595 ranked 18yr WC in R2.

Satwik/ Chirag second game comeback was the key moment.

Not only it gave the team an impetus, but took great pressure off Kidambi allowing him to play freely without any pressure which he showed when he staved off game points in the 2nd game.

As per PTI report, Selectors to give rest to all senior & regular players. Pandya or Dhawan to get appointed as stand in captain for 5 match T20I Series https://cricketaddictor.com/south-africa-tour-of-india-2022/ind-vs-sa-shikhar-dhawan-hardik-pandya-in-line-to-lead-india-in-t20i-series-vs-south-a...

And the poor guy even had entered Marrakesh, Houston with a hope that SageBoppana will grant him a boon ,but like IW & Miami all his efforts  failed. Honestly, SageBoppana never had any serious gennuine plans to tie up with Ram, as Adelaide happened by default,accident where the Sage had nowhere to ...

Yesterday Rahul, Miller, Rashid could not hit 9 runs in 6 balls that too against Sam’s on a batting wicket and then a bowler of Bumrah caliber gives away 48 runs is very questionable..

I think Ramkumar-Yuki is a winning doubles combination., but their personalities may not gel, which is the one fear I have about this pairing.

True .. that is absolutely an issue...

A nice win for Ram to move into the next round, in the last 2 maches has been playing the same way he played Kavcic which I told,  flat deep powerful strokes without loopy Top spins and more focus on serves, and the positives the Ufe's have come down drastically.

Yes finally an arrest to string of losses which came via a walkover ,he was hitting and serving differently, just the way mentioned in morning that win over Kavcic without hitting loopy top spins. But still premature to judge if there is a turnaround ,as was 5-2 up  , and quickly went love 40 down a...

Bhai Sab.. I was only conveying my personal views on how dbls is insignificant and less important in my opinion, nothing even remotely connected to comparing Leander with current crop with which you are confusing yourself.

Verdasco is No 108. I think this is going to be another L :-( It has nothing to do with ranking but more to do on how he is playing at present, less then 12 months ago Ram on clay shell shackled a former Top 60 Blaz Kavcic 1 & 1 so if he had that  Red Clay court form and based on a premise that Pra...

So it is Verdasco in the opener for Ram in Aix-en-Province Challenger, At Mexico compatriot Prajnesh ran the Spaniard close and nearly took the title,but for Ram in his present form it  just looks a difficult task replicating Praj's performance. In dbls Ram/Yuki face a local French pairing who could...
