Paes, along with James Cerretani, is in the doubles draw too. They are seeded #2. Neither of them is playing today. I will try to catch them in action later this week.

At €43K+H St. Brieuc Challenger 2018, France (Hard)

Jeevan and Purav team up again this week in the €43K+H St. Brieuc Challenger 2018, France and are seeded second.
They face the Ratiwatana twins in the first round.

[R1] (2) Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan (IND)/ Purav Raja (IND) vs. Sanchai Ratiwatana (THA) / Sonchat Ratiwatana (THA)

5-6 on serve. 1 break each.

Lost a real tight 1st set 6-7(5). 3 mini breaks to 2 I made it in the tie-break. The twins seemed to be serving out of their skins winning 22/25 1st serves. Our guys weren't too bad either at 23/30. We were 3/9 on 2nd serves and they were 4/11. Fine margins.

The match is on STB now after Jeev/Purav won the second set 6-3. Lost the STB 8-10.

That was a tough match to get in a first round of a challenger. Close loss.

It will be interesting to see if this pair now sticks together or it is a short-term arrangement. Will Leander-Purav and Jeevan-Rungkat get together again ?
