Thanks Suresh and Gbel :-),(sorry I did not get the name) The TN model also needs to be more coordinated as I mentioned in the 3rd para. There was a swedish coach who visited us 3-4 years back who was mentioning about a "support the coach" model being done in Russia. Even in TN I heard the...

There was a a mention of TN model.Since I have been witness to that in the recent past thought i could chip in. The relative success (not a success in the global perspective) of TN model is more to do with the coaches here than about stepping in to support an already winning horse. TN coaches are di...

Good run for Manish, Vasisht, Nitinkumar and Prajwal. They have had some interesting victories in the qualifying rounds which they can take as big positives from this tournament. Also noted that Rishabdev Raman is back in the Indian circuit after US college stint.

Good run for Vignesh in his hometown

Also noticed that the Chandrasekar Brothers beat the Sood brothers...

Another excellent run to be noted is that of Qualifier Manish. This youngster has bagged some creditable victories in the recent past. Well done Manish!

Hearty congratulations to Mukund! This is quite a landmark to achieve so early. He somehow reminds me of Chetan Baboor , ex TT star. Both have exceptional sporting acumen, always achieve beyond expectations , highly talented , don't have a purist style of play.. a bit nonchallant and laid back style...

Was fortunate to see VSPs match in person at MCC ITF Futures finals. Inspiring show of grit to overcome stomach cramps in the 3rd set to get his nose ahead at the finish line. Very smart play to hang on till the end and push himself at an opportune moment. Thoroughly enjoyed the level of tennis and ...

Most of the coaches use this to recruit. Not perfect ranking system but close to it

Btw 2 of the 4 MD WCs for Trichy ITF goes to Neeraj,Sumit . Also our Arjun is playing his debut ITF Pro level event here with the Qualifiers :-) Wishing him :goodluck: He has drawn Siddarth Vishwakarma (qualified for main draw in F1 Futures,CHD and lost to KU in 3 and 4). A tough bet to start with ...

Last 2 days Federer's show in Delhi was like watching the Taj Mahal for the first time. Inspite of all the hype and astronomical expectations, your are still not wee bit disappointed when you actually see it. A true legend. Best part was it was different than a competitive match in the sense the int...

Great work RamK!He possesses the potent combination of Talent and Will to work hard. Hope this upward curve is sustained till he breaks into the top 100 .....and further

Thank you all for the wishes. Humbled that an ITF G5 should draw all your attention and praise in the same measure as some of the greats discussed in these forums.
I have used PM to respond to the individual posts to avoid usage of real estate here.

[quote="sameerph"]Congrats to Ram if he is indeed Arjun Ramkrishnan's father.

Thanks, though my only contribution has been non interference

There is a G5 goin on in Colombo where a few Indians are playing
