Strange coincidence at the Shenzhen Longhua Open where Ram again draws Ugo Blanchet the 4th seed and the man Ram beat at the Shanghai Masters, would be a tough and close just like their last meeting. Mukund has a easier task rankings wise where he squares of against 500 + opponent whose name I have ...

Quite impressed with the debutant strapping English fast bowler Brydon Carse who really hits the deck hard and his figures right now read 2 for 12 . :Offtopic: Checked on Brydon Carse , who has Zimbabwean roots , born in SAF, and father a Zimbabwean was a First Class cricketer in Zimbabwe and also ...

^^^ It is at the same Royal Tennis Centre where the DC tie was held, it is a old slow HC, and might have pulled off a win over atleast one of the lower ranked Swedes had he not skipped it , the court is nothing like those quick super fast AO courts where he had a credible start to the New Year with ...

England score a mammoth 800 plus against Pakis to record this figure only for the 4th time in Test Criceting History and first time in this century. The Bug Nation well on track to script a new low 59/5 , with 20 overs left today a day to spare and 208 runs behind, who would have thought Pakis would...

^^^ Yes true , I was hoping for the Japanese to win and followed that match closely , as Ram has a close record , with their last 3 matches going to 3 sets and could have gone either way had they met and here with Uchiyama his 3 hour battle would have had a bearing for the 2nd round , but not for Du...

a probable match with the top seed Duckworth would be interesting to watch, unless the unpredictable Uchiyama gets better off Duckworth. Duckworth prevails in a bruising 3 hour battle 75 67 75 which as expected went down to the wire, the Japanese was bit unlucky in the 3rd where a perfectly set up ...

Infact they are organised by vested intrest's to manage their fund's like those Souhtbey auctions where obscure objects are sold for astronomical amounts and for which the buyer gets the all important Invoice. 10 - 15 years ago Bhupathi led circus, the Manila leg of that circus was funded by a gent...

@Prasen i disagree, it is not asinine, this is part of the play book of any Tennis player to score points on aces , especially if you have a strong serve , and for some of the players their entire game revolves around big serving , and it was not eagerness or to increase the aces tally (maybe I phra...

Finally Ram comes through in 3 sets, a match which he should have finished off in straight sets , and in his eagerness to increase his aces tally of 14 went big even on the 2nd which contributed to equal high number of 14 DF’s which prevented him to convert the breaks he had to close out the set. 3r...

^^^ HaHaHa... So Sumit helped Mukund to break the Georgian, but Mukund couldn't deliver from the help he got from Sumit and lost the set and the Match. Actually when I checked the score Mukund was serving for the set after he got the all important break and thought will check again later how the 3rd...

^^^ OK that us why there is no live stream And Mukund loses S1 @4, infact broke his opponent and was serving for 41 only to return the break and then lost out the set being broken again. In fact saw the live stream matches of most of these Georgian players during the Georgian open and all of them lo...

Good News the rains stopped and Mukund's match just got underway after a delayed start.

It is raining again in Hangzhou and looks like today also there might be a washout.

In fact last week I was in Hangzhou for work and left on Saturday and on that day onwards the rains have started and hasn't stopped since then .

He needs money. If it's good, it's fine. He needs money.. for this there are 2 aspects, one way to look at it is Grab every thing which comes your way .. or are you implying that he needs the money to sustain on the tour , if that it is the case then it is completely wrong. He has the highest spons...

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 ...
