Re: N Sriram Balaji thread
Indeed ! This was title #29 at the Futures level inn doubles. I guess with him being active in singles also, he can't make the step up to Challengers just yetsameerph wrote:Balaji and his partner won the doubles title.

Balaji has huge number of doubles titles at futures level (about 25 or thereabouts.). I think eventually he can become a very good doubles player if singles does not work out.

Re: N Sriram Balaji thread
This is an article on Balaji in Indian express-
Greener Pastures Target for Sriram
It does appear that now he is going to give it a go in doubles and therefore, will play challenges in next 3 weeks instead of Indian futures series -

“For the last few years, I’ve been focussing on singles, but this season I’m giving doubles as much love. I’ll play in Challengers in Bangkok, Shanghai and Nanchang so that I can amass enough points to boost my ranking — two weeks with Divij (Sharan) and one with Saketh (Myneni). Their rankings are within the top 200, so it’ll be easier to get into the tournaments,”

Re: N Sriram Balaji thread
Along expected lines. He has accumulated a large number of ITF doubles titles (close to 30, I believe). Maybe he can be a stable partner for Divij.

Interesting ... Hopefully his partnership with Divij give us chance to discuss more.

Re: N Sriram Balaji thread
Congrats to Sriram Balaji for his national title.
From that article that Rabb posted in nationals thread -
From that article that Rabb posted in nationals thread -
So, that explains the reason of hum preferring to play in nationals instead of pro tour events.“I was supposed to play in a Challenger and two Futures in Egypt, but wasn’t able to get a visa on time as the embassy was on leave due to Bakrid. There are no ranking points for playing here and I took part just to get enough match practice. Winning eight matches made it even more worth it.”
So, he will miss the first of the Indian challenger but will play the second week.The World No 305 next plays at the October 26-31 Pune Challenger. He’ll give the earlier one in Bengaluru a miss due to some personal commitments — namely his sister’s nuptials.
