Re: India Challengers February 2024

One of the best ever wins by Ram since his slew of R1 losses to everyone and anyone. So has he regained his mojo and is it a new chapter... NO not yet and a long long way to go. This win just confirms his commitment to singles which is unwavering and what it does , it gives the singles campaign and ...

Re: India Challengers February 2024

We gave a huge tradition of kowtowing to foreigners right from Chennai ATP 20 years ago and nothing has changed in these 2 decades, and the reasons to do this are quite obvious and don't want to go into details. For our guys, leave aside MD WC they have been flatly refused even a Quali's WC , even t...

Have you heard about Yuki, or Praj ?

Re: India Challengers February 2024

His opponent was threatening a dangerous comeback, which Sumit sensed and took medical breaks and all, and at 54 30 all (one can see the point which also has a luxury of replay) Sumit clearly hit it out and pre emted the umpire decision with a celebrity shout to confuse the umpire who called it in. ...

Re: India Challengers February 2024

So we have our semifinalist in both the singles and dbls.
Titles in both the categories in our home challenger would be sweet.

Re: Sumit Nagal thread

Just checking on rest of the world Tennis affairs , and couple of days back Bublik won the 250 Montpilier and in the process became the first ever player to win a 250 tournament despite losing the first set in all the matches at a tourney. IN that context , Sumit overcoming him at the AO is so highl...

Re: Davis Cup 2024- India

^^^ You are whining too much these days :shrug: I know :) ... Will cut down on it. I used to be much more a cheerleader before. Now that ITD does that job really well, it is probably okay if we do not do too much of it here, so I whine and criticize here :) True that is what they are best at (Cheer...

Re: Davis Cup 2024- India

2nd singles players results would be on expected lines and can be ruled out irrespective of any surface. So here the moot point ,is 2 singles win by Sumit and the Dbls, win, and to garner and hope for 2 wins by Sumit the probability is at its highest on Clay , so the search leads to choose a higher ...

Re: Davis Cup 2024- India

If it's a home tie, we need to take a decision which could be termed preposterous and unthinkable but looking at it with right attributes it would be a logical decision. Hold the tie on a red clay, and if we don't have one, make one, as I am sure the powerfull cartel has sufficient resources to make...

Re: Davis Cup 2024- India

Ram breaks Quereshi and comfortably holds his serve at love to go 3 nil in the deciding set. the break was admirable as Aisam was 40-15 up only to get broken First time in the match , India with its nose in front. Okay.. breaks again and then holds to go 5 love up The Pakistani has nothing left in t...

Re: Davis Cup 2024- India

Ramu , just takes the S2 on TB and almost made a hash out of it when leading 61 and allowed the paki to come back to 46 before holding his nerve to close it out at 74
Come On India !!!!
