Buji played his normal game, no attacking style etc.. He tired the heck out of Dick Norman by the end of second set. In third set Dick Norman, being 38 years old, simply did not have enough steam to fight it out in Somdev style. Just think about it first two sets took almost two hours.

Somdev won 62, 6-2 in 57 minutes.

I would cheer when he enters top 100.

Just watching Istomin play Djokovic in 3rd round.... down 1-6,0-2... wondering if he can reach 3rd round why can't Somi...... Let me put up some really frivolous thoughts to this irrelevant comparison 1. Because Somi is Somi & Istomin is Istomin 2. You need to qualify to reach 3rd round. In Aus...

You are ignoring the fact that one WC locked for Prakash for ever. So most probably Moya, Somdev & Prakash.

Yuki would get a Qualifying WC or something if needed.

After reading comments from Mithu, I really miss the days of Jay's message notes where I could get scores and other insightful comments without having to read the back and forth nonsense that now takes place on this site. Honestly, 95% of the people who post here on a daily basis are very good, the...

Somdev lost the only match he played against Kudryavtsev at Khorat challanger eariler this year. So, he would be looking for reversing that result this time. Some people with styles similar to Kudryavtsev seem to have perfect game to beat a grinder style of player. I would guess they can beat him 2...

Mithu brings an important point. How many active members does this forum has who have joined in the last 2-3 years. Say after 2006? [Count me out, I am an oldie on this forum just changed my name on this forum to save some public identity issues recently] Not saying that is good or bad -- just to sa...

Got to believe Jay ( He has the the benefit for looking at IP address as well to confirm his analysis

Congrats Somi. Unlike his initial year on the tour, Luck seems to be on his side this time. Lady luck smiled first in shape of reshuffle of Qualifying draw and now he has a relatively favorable draw for the first two/three rounds compared to other Qualifiers who are facing likes of Davidenko in firs...

As expected, Somdev slides to 163 on ATP Rankings. The good news is that he only has 20 points to defend in next two months and that caps his downside to 173 in worst case scenario before Nov mid. He only has short window of two months to break-into top 100 before his Nashvile (84, Nov) and Chennai ...

Otherwise, a 140 ranked player losing to a 180+ ranked player is a completely normal result as Somdev has beaten quite a few opponents in the 100-200 range recently. The dissapointment here is that he seems to be playing at the 150 level rather than something clearly higher. You are assuming Bubka ...

In the morning looking at the scores on ATP tour site my 7 years old asked me, "Why they made Somdev play with Igor K in the first round and not Taylor Dent" Well its called luck of the draw I explained and that is how it is. Good run though from Somi and it gives us confidence that he is ...

Welcome to USA hard court season and start looks good

Who is Sudarwa Sitaram playing in Boys singles?
