Yes, that's awesome. He's been winning with a lot of different partners. If he finds a steady partner of equal ability, he could be on his way to the top 20!

Re: European ATP clay season 2018
When i saw him play earlier this year in Irving challenger with Scott lipsky, i noticed that his toss was a bit low and he was rushing his serve while in a hurry to get to the net. If you all remember during that period he was getting clobbered in his serve games. From the sidelines, i told him to get an additional 6 inches on his toss, this will also give him time for additional upper body rotation, and if he delays the transfer of weight by a fraction, this should do the trick. He gave me a startled look - but he did say "thank you" - obviously he does not know me but was probably wondering where that advice came from
I hope that has helped...I haven't seen him play recently but he appears to be winning.

Purav and Fabrice have entered the semifinals at Lyon beating the third seeds in straight sets. Congrats.

Re: European ATP clay season 2018
Rohan and Roger lost in a super tiebreaker to Jebavy-Middelkoop who will face Purav-Fabrice in the SF. Divij-GGL most probably will face the pairing of two good singles players in Krygios-Sock.

Re: European ATP clay season 2018
I think it's time to break up the Bopanna/Vasselin team. These guys are playing awful and never seem to live up to their high seeding at each tournament.

Re: European ATP clay season 2018
True although often times they produce an upset. Also, I am surprised to see Pablo Cuevas still playing doubles regularly and seeded higher than RB/ERV at the French Open. IIRC, PC and RB had to split only because PC wanted to concentrate more on singles.

Re: European ATP clay season 2018
Surprising straight sets loss for Purav and Fabrice after being a break up in the first set.

Re: European ATP clay season 2018
Divij/Garcia-Lopez also lost their SF (to the powerful-looking pair of Sock/Kyrgios) 57 46.

Re: European ATP clay season 2018
[R1] N. Sriram Balaji (IND)/ Vishnu Vardhan (IND) vs Federico Delbonis (ARG)/ Guido Pella (ARG) 7-6(7), 0-0
Vishnu and Bala bagged an extremely hard-fought first set at 7. They won 43 points to their opponents' 42. Neither team could break the other (Vishnu/Bala saved all 3 BPs against them while failing to convert the only chance they managed to create on their opponents' serve).
