On FB, Jeevan posted the video of an important point in the super tie-break where Purav "Long Legs" Raja made a superb return running and returning with his back to the net and keeping the point alive. ("Long Legs" is what he called Purav) This is a good win as super tie-breaks are unpredictable.

LOL! Jaydeep, Sathi Reddy used to be a part of Hawaii Pacific University but he never had any big success and I fail to understand how he reaps these wildcard benefits as he also played in the Nottingham CH last year receiving a qualifying WC losing 0-6 0-6 to a British player.

In my playing days too we had these strange guys coming in from nowhere and getting wildcards into Round 1. We found out later that some of these guys just knew how to be in the right place at the right time when the WC decisions were made and got themselves in that way - some of these guys were quite chummy with the tournament directors also.
