The selectors should consider form over rankings for the davis cup ties. Against South Korea, they may have a chance to experiment. However at the higher levels such as World group play-offs (also in the world group) and the final group rounds they should select players who have shown good form this...

We are the defending champions.
India has to defeat Malaysia at least, I think they can handle Oman, but they'll need to be in top 2 for finals. So good luck.

Rohit , match against Chinese Taipei is by no means an easy one. In fact if Chinese Taipei no. 1 Lu plays then they would start as slight favourite. Even, without Lu , they have 2 more players ranked inside top 300 & pretty good doubles team. I definitely ignored Lu over there. I considered Chi...

Was expecting Balaji to at least reach the finals, nevertheless, good luck for the future tournaments.
Wietoska doesn't seem to wear out, despite playing through the qualis and all these matches.

Although these are best of 3 sets matches, Wietoska would be the tired of the 4 remaining. Balaji should live up to his top seeding and win the next two matches. It would be awesome to have him and Sanam in the top 300. Somdev, Yuki (hopefully he'll go back to top 200), Vishnu, Sanam and Balaji. Wou...

It's been 7 years since jayakris started this thread and Sanam now has a career high ranking of 328. A jump of 32 places thanks to the wins in the futures. According to rankings he's India's number two after Yuki right now.
I hope he keeps improving.

Need more corporate support, some strong financial backing.
That's why I don't think of India hosting an ATP 500 or 1000 event.
A couple of challenger tournaments would have given a boost to the Indian athletes too but the same old complaint of no money keeps troubling us.

Seeing you state Somdev's ground strokes are back to before injury has just made my day.

Lot's of singles talk, what do you think about Doubles? Will Leander participate with Janko or is Stepanek coming to Chennai?
And what about Mahesh?

Thanks Sameerph and jayakris.
I just hope Vishnu reaches the main draw, either way- the qualis or as a wildcard (unlikely)
Just can't wait for the tournament to get started.

Good decision to give the second wildcard to Yuki. I just hope he makes best of it, reaching quarters would be a good start for him although anyone would like to see an Indian win this tournament. Can't they give the third one to Vishnu? Also, why does Berdych need one when he's in the top 10? Would...

Thanks sameer for the info,
sf is good, wished he could have just upped the ante in the last set.
Is he going to be there for the Chennai Open? wildcard or qualis?

Joined this site just because of this thread...
Saw on his twitter page, "last day in chennai..."
The tracker on his website shows he is in Doha,
isn't he gonna play at Chennai Open with the wildcard given to him?
And who was given the other wildcard?
