Yah They do it...1St BMW Title of any Sorts for India..,!!

Drat..from 2-0 Up they let it Slip .Now it's 3-3 in the 2nd Set..

Yuki and his Partner are 2-0 Up in the 2nd Set..having won the 1St Set 7-6,Mus'nt let this Opportunity Slip,

Struff feeling the Wear& Tear Playing both the Singles and the doubles final...
BMW Title Up for Grabs..!!

Back to Sumit..It was a bit disappointing that he Pulled out of the Main Draw at Munich, where the Main Draw cut Fell Over 100.. Could have been a good Opportunity to Get into the Main Draw,Without Playing the Qualies.. Nevertheless he knows his Body Fitness)Recovery & Game better than anyone El...

For the History,No Indian has Ever Won the BMW Open ( Singles or Doubles),Since the Tournament started way back in 1899..
Earlier it was played on Grass Courts, Now it's played on Clay..

The Tournament plans to upgrade itself to ATP 500 From next year..

Hoping for an Indian winner Now..!!

Ok..Thanks for the Info Jay, was really worried what was happening.. Well back to Tennis & As I said, Sumit has taken a break for the Long Clay- Grass Season,Which would be demanding on the body & Mind.. Its all Sumit,so much so that we forgot that Yuki Bhambri has made the doubles Final int...

Sumit has said that he is taking about 2-3 Weeks off to recover/ Train and be ready for the long Season of Clay-Grass .

Hoping to see him play soon..

BTW..what was the problem with the Sports India Site, for 2-3 Days..Couldn't access the site..

This has probably been the tendency, Our players crack the top 100 & then are unable to Sustain it due to the Rigorous demands of the Tour..//

I really hope that Sumit gets the transition done from a Qualifier, to a Direct Main Draw Player on the ATP Tour, so as to get the best of Privileges.

Nevertheless he would be getting Direct Entry in the Main Draw of Grand Slam Events where the Draw Consists of 128 Players..//
...

I am curious to Know whether the same Royalties are offered to Qualifiers or not,Because Sumit will enter Madrid as a Qualifier in the Qualifying Competition and not in the Main Draw..//

By the Schedule, It seems that Bopanna is taking sumit under his wings,The Airfare/Hotel Stay/Eateries etc..On the Tour Arrangements are Very difficult if you are Alone,With a companion,however you can always share-Consult things, & it really helps,as you have to shell out less money.. :cool: It...

Bopanna/Ebden are Still. Ahead by about 900Pts Compared with the 2nd Ranked Team..in Doubles Rankings.

On a lighter note, He can Utilise the One Week break to call back his Girlfriend to Cheer him..on Court...!!! Ha Ha Ha..
