It’s going to be tough to win a match, especially against a player like today if you only get 38% of your first serves in. Yes, Maaya's first serve % has been in the range of 35 to 45% in all the matches that I have seen. Maybe to improve she may have to sacrifice on some speed on serve which proba...
Selection for this year's BJK cup Asia Oceania qualifiers ( to be held in Pune in first week of April) is going to be tough for selectors. All 7 mentioned above will be in contention along with our current doubles #1 Prarthana Thombre for 5 spots in the team.
I watched the first set of that Sumit match and he missed 2 set points at 5-4, 40-15 on opponent serve, else this match could have finished in straight sets. Sumit appears good but lot more errors than usual in that set. It looks like he came back strong in second set. From the stats of third set, i...
Excellent couple of wins by Manas today to make it his first pro final. He is getting close to getting into junior slams with his ATP singles rankigs now.

Ficovich is another strong clay player and has won both his matches against Sumit thus far although both the matches were in 2019 and 2021. So, it is another tough...
RamK and Saketh upset the top seeds Ray Ho and Mathew Romios 76(5) 76(8) to make it the final at Chennai Challenger. Second seeds Jeevan and VSP got upset though by Japanese pair of Kaito Useugi and Shintaro Mozhizuki in the SF 8-10 in the super tie break.
^^^ Yes, I saw that. I also saw that you mentioned that other players adjust and come back. I think that is what happens most of the time. The player who loses the first set, tries extra hard at least at the start of the second set and player who has won the first set is a bit relaxed. It may be a m...
Leading 5-1 in the third set. Close it out Maaya! Done and dusted. 6-2 in the third set. I just hope that she does not play so many three setters where she is losing the second set. That puts a toll on her body. She is young and fit and will recover quickly. But, still. Hope the coach is finding ou...
