[Sin Hombre]

Hopefully Sumit wins all 3 weeks. That will be 54 out of the ~100 points he needs the rest of the year.

[sameerph]

Yes, but he may have to miss third week due to Asian indoor games.

Thanks, Jaydeep. You beat me to it.

Quite a bit of foreign presence here. Only 3 of the seeds are Indians - Sumit, Siddharth and Haadin. Rest all are foreigners trying to pick up easy points. Hope some of our players are able to upset these foreign seeds.

[sameerph]

Arjun seems to having an excellent run beating 3 foreign players in 3 rounds. I think he will pose a challenge to Sumit in SF. Lets see.

[jaydeep]

I think he will pose a challenge to Sumit in SF. Lets see.

On clay? I doubt

[sameerph]

I think this clay would be somewhat different from European clay which Sumit is used to. He has not run thru the draw like he is expected to against this level of opposition.

[jaydeep]

Yes, you are right ... We many times see clay court specialists struggle on Chennai clay.

[jaydeep]

Arjun and Haadin gave a fighting performance in their three sets losses against their respective opponents ... So the final is between Sumit and his Dutch opponent Colin Van Beem ... Good week for Arjun with Haadin.
