Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
Wow, Saniapower never seems to amaze me. His/her eyes are not connected to his/her brain? So now, I know he or she is an alien. More seriously, I love SP's pic. Please please please, don't delete it Life gets too boring if things get too predictable and prim and proper. I always do not agree with SP and sometimes the trolling annoys me a bit. But his/her content is not total nonsense. A lot of comments have an interesting POV behind it even though it may be exaggerated to make the point. So, he/she is not a garden-variety troll. Let him/her play his/her natural game on the forum.Rajiv wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2018 8:47 amwhy don't you connect your eyes to your brain, so that your irritating,nauseating Picture Profile can be removed

Lee lifted his first title of 2018 season, with James Cerretani, that's also on the challenger tour ... Salute to Lee's motivation for playing and winning the challenger at 45 ... They defeated Treat Huey and Danis Kudla in the straight sets ... More importantly, this win gives him 125 ranking points.

Leander now #47 in men's doubles, two slots behind Divij (who is at a career-high of 45).

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
This is almost equivalent to an atp title. Big win. Congrats Leander & James. There was never any doubt considering the class and form Paes has shown in the Aussie Open.

Yes, Huey/Kudla were an ATP-level team. Beating them so comfortably was excellent.

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
This week in the Dallas Challenger, Leander plays with Joe Salisbury of UK and are the Top seeds. Jeevan and Chris Rungkat are seeded 4th. They play against James Cerratani who won the Newport Beach Challenger (along with Paes last week) and Ante Pavic

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
Strange that Leander has picked yet another new partner. Salisbury is ranked 100, Cerretani is ranked 77. The only thing going for Salisbury is his age (25, while Cerretani is 36). Still doesn't make sense to switch away from someone he has just won a Challenger with.

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
Is something up with the LP-Purav pair? Otherwise, this seems to be simply pairing up with whoever is available on a week-to-week basis rather than changing a successful pairing with Cerretani. That is, it's just as likely that Cerretani may have previously committed to his partner for this week than LP switching away from him after winning a challenger.
OTOH, if the LP-Purav pair is breaking up, then it would make sense to play longer with Cerretani given their one-off success last week.

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
It is very strange that Purav isn't travelling and playing with Leander. Unless Purav has decided he doesn't want to play Challengers any more.

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
But, these are big challengers next only to ATP tour events. So, Purav should play these at least until he gets into top 50. Last week was understandable coming immediately after AO. But, I thought he would play this week.

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
For the coming season it is unlikely we will be having a steady partnership's amongst our top 100 ranked doubles players , as many other factors will come up for final consideration.

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
Jeevan and Chris scored a superb comeback win over a strong pairing of Cerretani and Pavic ... After losing the first set easily, they fought back to win the second set tie-break and kept momentum for winning the match tie-break.

Re: US Challengers, Jan-Feb. 2018
I watched the first set, they played pretty badly since the start. So glad they were able to turn the tables and get this good win
