PKB has described precisely what transpired and in the end the difference in rankings was the deciding factor. S1 Ram took time to adjust to a different top 50 Tennis standard and by the time he settled down , the set was already lost. S2 Ram got to grips of the match and was neck to neck but again ...

Damm... Sumit loses the S1 @3. Looks tentative and not moving freely at all looks as if he is the one who is playing after 2 retirements in his last 2 matches rather than his opponent who has. Hope he can make a comeback as when the Chinese was serving for the set raised his game putting the Chinese...

Meanwhile Sumit plays tommorow at 12.30 noon local time. And no excuses and nothing less than a win would do. Cause his opponent is still struggling with injuries as evident from his last 2 matches that he played , and in both of them he had to retire, so he doesn't seem to have fully recovered, , p...

Opps PKB you just beat me in posting Ram's opponent.

For a 56 ranked player has reached the QF's only thrice this year and never gone beyond that stage and in the rest of over 25 odd tournaments that he has played has been beaten regularly in 1st or 2nd round, let's see if Ram can cause a upset.

Yes he has done it , and in to the MD with straight sets 2 & 4 win. This is the new Ram we are seeing , .. at 2-3 when he got broken to lose the advantage , comparing with his recent play he would normally again loose serves and let slip the advantage , but here when he was broken , he immediate...

a powerful FH didn't give Sun time to react and nets the ball for 30 all on his serve. a blistering FH on Suns BH which even attracted ohhh's form the crowd , gave Ram a BP and the ensuing point follows with a power FH to leave Sun motion less and gets the all important break in the second set. and ...

Ram is taking power hitting to a new level , a Double Handled thundering BH to make love 15 , followed by a even stronger FH cross court for love 30 and that induce UFE's in the Chinese to give Ram a double break 5-2 , and serving for the set now . And duly takes the first set at 2 with a clinical d...

Ram continuing from yesterday , with great booming serving and low bending volleys , gets the break and will serve for a 4-2 lead.

No one bowls a off cutter better than Bumrah to end the frustrating last wicket partnership.

Jadeja strikes again, gets the danger man Litton das.
Bug Nation 2.0 ..93/6

Ever since the late 90's when Gordon Greenidge helped Bangladesh to get on to play against the big teams, I have totally avoided them and considered it a total waste of time watching them even if it was against India But last couple of months have changed my stance and have followed with great inter...

Yes Jay you are right and thanks for the points clarification , points dropping off like you it is also in my watch list , and as per the schedule he plays 2 more Challengers in China ( Hangzhou & Shenzhen) and lets see , then there are 3x25's in India , so has ample opportunities to cover up th...

In Stockholm on my way back to Hkg at 6 am Ram came to say good bye , but being early in the morning Uber said 20 minutes to arrive and during that time generally discussed the schedule , and at that time he was not even in the official top 20 Alt quali list for Shanghai and was in the 30’s of the E...

Now this gets more interesting at the Chinese WC Fajing Sun took out the 4th seed Borna Coric but its is now the FQR and anything can happen , so Ram has a good chance to overcome the 353rd ranked Chinese with a CH of #327

What a superb solid BH volley which was preceded by a strong serve to finish off the match
