Re: Purav Raja thread...
Deepest condolences to Purav. Just read on another thread that his father passed away. It's one of the hardest of times to lose a parent and I wish him all the inner strength for the difficult times ahead.

Re: Purav Raja thread...
Purav is back on circuit 2 weeks after his father's loss playing the Toyota CH partnering 34 year old American John Paul Fruttero.
At $75K Toyota CH, Japan
[R1] John Paul Fruttero/ Purav Raja vs (1) Sonchat / Sanchai Ratiwatana
I'm hoping for an upset strongly.

Lost
At $75K Toyota CH, Japan
[R1] John Paul Fruttero/ Purav Raja 5-7 3-6 (1) Sonchat / Sanchai Ratiwatana
That brings the end of the season for Purav. Here are the highlights of the year:
1. Won Portoroz CH - Slovenia and a $15K Futures in France - with Fabrice Martin
2. Zagreb ATP 250 Finalists
2. ATP Bogota , Newport , Chennai 250 SF
3. Finalists in Guangzhou CH
Purav is currently ranked #93 in the doubles chart. His regular partner Fabrice Martin has been playing with different partners since August and is now ranked #71.
I hope Purav settles with a better partner for the whole 2016 season.

Re: Purav Raja thread...
He moved up from a ranking of 135 to 93 in a year. So, one can say decent progress. But, that is still much below his career best ranking of 71 achieved in March 2014. His partnership with Fabrice Martin was quite good and hope they continue to play together next year.

Re: Purav Raja thread...
Saw Purav Raja sitting on the Singapore Slammers bench during their IPTL match against the UAE Royals! Good money for our players if these leagues like CTL and IPTL keep picking up.

Re: Purav Raja thread...
His FB page displays the colours of the Singapore Slammers (if I remember the name correctly), so presumably that's the team he'll play for in MB's league.

Re: Purav Raja thread...
Purav has entered Brisbane ATP 250 in first week of the year (instead of Chennai) and is paired with 6th ranked Ivan Dodig. They are first alternates in the entry list. A big opportunity for Purav to be playing along side Dodig. I guess this has something to do with Purav being the coach of Singapore Slammers in IPTL.
In the meantime, his regular partner of last year Fabrice Martin has entered Chennai ATP with Oliver Marach. So, it looks that partnership is off now and Purav will have to find a new partner this year.

Re: Purav Raja thread...
Purav and Divij are playing together in the Bangkok challenger . They are up against fourth seeds Skupski Brother in the first round. I hope they continue playing together for the year
