Some popups were obstructing the video. Let me check again. This is something that really bothers me. So many times on these ATP videos, the popups will come up and completely block things right after the points that end the sets or matches. Can't they find a way to make it transparent or something?

Can't be, Sanjay. That was Indian accent. The loser typically never apologizes for anything. Why should he?

Plus, Kuzmanov didn't play yesterday. It had to be Sumit saying it.

^^^ Wasn't it Sumit saying it to Kuzmanov? I should check the recording. Anyway,

[R1] (LL) Sumit Nagal (IND,254) d. Dimitar Kuzmanov (BUL,208), 63 16 75

Terrific lob at 30-40 BP to save, and then a great second serve winner up the middle for MP. deuce again. Another good serve and the return is long. MP#2. Yet another great first serve winner. Game set match Sumit apologized to Kuzmanov for (I think) the netchords. "so sorry man... it was that ...

Another break. 4-3 and serving. Two good first serves to corners falling barely out gave him trouble and he is broken. 4-4 even. Held once more, 5-5 And he breaks at 0-40 to lead 6-5. Kuzmanov is a bit tentative now, probably affected by some thigh issue. Sumit got two good netchord points in the la...

Got broken at 1-3 in the third but broke back and held at 15 to even it at 3-3 in the third.

^^^ Agree with the thought. But she doesn't serve too many aces, which is why we complain. Typically it is 1 ace every couple of matches, and that is it. She had one ace today. Her first serve is not super strong or anything, which is why I keep complaining about her double faults. If you are trying...

Nice upset for Sahaja!

[R1] Sahaja Yamalapalli (IND,452) d. (5) Anastasia Kulikova (FIN,330), 63 26 64

She will play a Tunisian wildcard or a Gwrman qualifier in the R2 on Wednesday. Rutuja's R1 match is tomorrow.

Cramping issues. Indians can’t seem to catch a break. :damn: The cramp affected him, but he was still moving well on some points. He had 3 or 4 unforced errors in the final 2 service games because he did not believe that he could win. We could see it in the body language and the lazy whacks at the ...

Mukund is up a break at 4-3 and serving in the third. Walton complains to the ump that the Medical timeout must have been for a fake injury or something, I suppose. The ump says the physio determined that it was a cramp. Mukund broken at 30-40 at 4-3. Walton holds serve, 4-5 And he loses. Simply cho...

Sumit made the main draw as an LL.

[R1] (LL) Sumit Nagal (IND,254) vs Dimitar Kuzmanov (BUL,208)

[Q2] (3) Sumit Nagal (IND,254) l. Robert Strombachs (GER,411), 16 67(4) Sumit converted only 1 of 10 break chances while Strombachs converted 3 of 6. That was pretty much the difference. Sumit can only hope for a lucky loser spot now. The main draw shows 9 qualifier spots, which means 3 LLs will be ...

The thing wrestlers are asking for now is Brij's arrest. So in a way they are asking Modi to play Judge, Jury and Executioner. That's too much to ask for, Modi instead of keeping mum on this matter could have said in "Monkey Baat"(typo pun intended), that he is pained to see what was happ...

^^^ Good point. Of course. I forgot that these were on clay. Still, RamK from earlier would throw in 2 or 3 aces a set. Will need to see what he does on hardcourts or grass later.

It is just sad, what is going on. As usual, Modi will not open his mouth on any of these things. Won't face questions,and won't voluntarily comment either. I just fail to understand what BJP and Modi are trying to accomplish from letting this matter go this far. Just do something and end this mess! ...
