Nishesh is Alt 7 at Delray Beach starting on my birthday.

There's a blockbuster R1 match between 9-Ebden/Vliegen and Rajeev Ram/Austin Krajicek coming up tomorrow. The winner plays the winner of Bhambri/Olivetti vs WC-Schoolkate/Walton in R2. If Ebden too loses, the defending champion pair would have been knocked out at the first hurdle, albeit with diffe...

Are we done as far as AO25 is concerned?

Game wise Nishesh was fantastic! He pretty much matched the current Novak on the court on stroke play. Even his serve was fine as serves at 190+ on most first serves but didn’t have the angles that the taller Novak had. He will need to work on his physicality though to get to the very top. Even fro...

Is Nishesh playing too much tennis? The last few weeks have been a whirlwind. Maybe a week off will help him recuperate?

In Live rankings, Nishesh is 104. And Sumit is 103.

I get a feeling that Sumit will stay outside the Top 100 from now on. He is bad on hard courts and that isn't good enough. I hope I am wrong. It is sad that India does not have any other good new players either. We have to rely on following Indian American players like Nishesh.

Yes, good change for NB. Also, Nagal has defeated Novak in his career.

Sumit beat Marko, not Novak.

Yep, I watched that on TV.

I did not see this match but Monfils is a very good and athletic retriever and is perhaps a bad matchup for Nishesh who likes to dictate from the back court but does not have a great finishing shot yet. Good news is that he gets some rest for his match against the Djoker. Bad news is that Djoker is...

Nishesh plays Monfils today. His last defeat 10 days ago was to the same player. Time for revenge.

In between, Nishesh went on a rampage beating 5 top-100 players (of which 2 are Top 50)!

@jaykris, could you please fix the spelling in the title? It is "Bas a vareddy". The "a" is missing. Oh, I never noticed. Was a typo the crept in when Sameer started the thread. His post had the right spelling, but he missed an "a" in the title, that's all. I missed th...

Nishesh withing striking distance of Sumit.

Missed the match as I had some stuff to do but oh man!! I can't believe this.

Is this the year we have an Indian Grand Slam winner????
