Congratulations to Sandhya Nagaraj.

Strangest thing happened today. I read Jaydeep's post as Hamburger challenge!  my mind went racing ahead and wondered why is Sandhya in a food competition? has she switched over from tennis? isn't that a Japanese thing? oh, wait a minute, that japanese champ guy is in hotdog eating competition.  hmmm...

French woman Guisard defeated #189 Zahlavovain in first round ... Now both qualifiers having good opportunity of moving into quarter-final of this challenger.
