Not looking good for Sasi as he is already a set down.

Yes was watching on live stream, True he has all what it takes to be top 100 and for the better half of the year has been very unlucky by getting cruel draws or having to play 2 matches in a day and this affected to a loss of at least of 50-60 points and well could have been in top 150 by now , but ...

Ram comes back emphatically to close out the match 2 & 1 in the last two sets and in the process dumping 8 aces. His probable R2 opponent would be Fartangelo who is in Somdev mould one who gets back everything thrown at him , But Ram has got better of Somdev on more than 2 occasion so should be ...

This week he will also try his hands at doubles and has partnered Jeevan.

on the upside, there was no meltdown like the R1 quali of Wimbledon and suggests he has more or less regained his fitness and now he can move on from where he left at china and get closer to top 100

These matches will determine and reveal if Saki has fully recovered or is still reeling under the effects of the injury , i hope it is the former and Good Luck Saki

I was wrong. He's still playing, and hitting winners on the run! he was just feigning cramps , and nothing but downright acting Ram should have finished off in straight sets , anyway nice to see him reach the semis and one match at a time and looking forward to his maiden title, At present in the l...

And the key to the result will be style of play , Ram has to play percentage tennis ,keep the ball in play and engage in long rallies which he is good at considering his clay experience , and Brydan a naturalised Briton is basically an Australian and like most of the Australians their game is differ...

In May 1980 SportsWeek edition ( A copy of which I still have ), had on its cover a 19 year Hockey player who was named the player of the tournament in the just concluded 4 nation tournament held in Malayasia and ever since Mohamed Shahid caught my imagination , a Sportsman who was my favourite over...

Let there be no debate on the choice of surface,Grass without any doubt

And sensibly Yuki pulled out due to not having fully recovered from injury. Saketh is still there. Hope, by that time he will be fully fit to play 5 set matches. We do not have third singles player in the team. So, we cannot afford any pull put after one match. I suspect Rohan would be the 3rd sing...

It is not the question about not drafting Sumit , but the moot point is he capable of an effective result , he would be an ideal candidate under these circumstances had it been hard or clay court and infact had been clamouring for him since last year and even wanted him drafted in the play off again...

Followed Saki's match in trepidation and the worst fears are true , in fast tracking Wimbledon and Davis Cup the injury has not fully healed and would it wise to play an unfit Saki where the onus is more on endurance and can he last the distance, would it be to bigger risk to go in with a half fit S...

Looks like Rishbah's campaign will wind up as he is double break down in the final set and 0-5 down, In the earlier week he was unlucky to run into the the top seed , but this match expected him to make amends ,however his inability to convert indicates that he is not yet ready for the big league an...

KU miserable run continues as he crashes out in straight sets to the Australian qualifier , these two tournaments he was hoping to mount an recovery of sorts but they have gone badly wrong and failed to notch a single win , Now he has a monumental task for the remaining of the year to recover lost g...
