Final
Rishabh SHARDA (IND) [1] 7-5 7-5 Dev JAVIA (IND) [2]

17 year Rishab Sharda won third title in consecutive weeks after winning 2 titles in Bangladesh in past 2 weeks. Winning a grade 5 is nothing great for a 17 year old but still maintaining consistency to win titles in 3 straight weeks is laudable. We need to keep an eye if this kid can do something in higher level tournaments.

What is a top 75 player like Siddhant doing playing in a grade 4 tournament ? Good performance so far 15 year old Gujarat boy Dev Javia.

Bad loss in the final for Siddhant. This is what happens when you play at a lower level than where you should.

Next week will be grade 3 in Pune where Indians Siddhant Banthia and Akankha Bhan will be top seeds on the boys and girls side respectively.

Final - James STORY (GBR) [6] 6-3 4-6 6-4 Siddhant BANTHIA (IND) [1]
Bad loss in the final for Siddhant. This is what happens when you play at a lower level than where you should.
Next week will be grade 3 in Pune where Indians Siddhant Banthia and Akankha Bhan will be top seeds on the boys and girls side respectively.

Yeah, it was weird to see him play a grade 4, but I think he did that couple of months ago somewhere else too. Maybe he wanted 40 pts to replace the 60, in case he doesn't retain his title at Pune last year, to be in line for making the AO juniors (not sure... but then he should be able to do that at Pune itself, based on the rankings).

Has the little time at Mouratoglou Academy helped? I don't know. Something tells me that he should be taking ACT/SAT and getting ready to apply to be in a good US college for next fall itself. Unless he makes a big move in the grand slams next year and goes to the junior top-20, that is.

[sameerph]

Fully agree. Siddhant looks to be a decent talent but not at the level of say a Yuki or Sumit. Physically too he does not appear too strong from what I saw some time back. So, a stint in US colleges will help.

He looks lean in the pictures but seems to have the frame to build on, if he gets some solid physical training, which you can get in good universities (if you yourself are serious - otherwise college coaches don't bother you too much to do physical work). His legs need to get stronger, like in the case of most young Indian players. Can't find his exact height, but he doesn't seem to be too short either. He may really flourish in college tennis. Spend 2 or 3 years and come out when he turns 21, and he will be ready to be coached and fine-tuned by somebody, to hit top-200 by age 23 if he doesn't waste time.

And he doesn't have to run around finding money for academies and coaching now when he is not ready to earn anything serious in the pros for several years. Good college products (like Somdev) only need a year or two before making enough money on the tour to survive. You get free college education too. It's such a no-brainer that I fail to understand why more parents of top Indian juniors don't do that.

Siddhanth had to really fight all the way to win his first 2 matches. Some of lower ranked player would be looking to get high points this week to try to get into AO main/ qualifying draws. Unfortunately, second seed Megh Bhargav Patel fell early but third seed Sachit Sharma and fourth seed Rishab Sharda are still there.

That was a good match by Dev Javia against Siddhanth in R1. Dev is only 15 years old and seems to be quite talented. He had lost to Siddhanth last week too, 57 57.
