Re: Zeel Desai thread
Zeel can call herself unlucky, as the match was moved to indoor clay courts, from outdoor hard courts, due to continuous rainfall. This would have given an obvious advantage to the Portuguese girl.

Re: Zeel Desai thread
Zeel wins in three sets.
[R2] (7) Zeel DESAI (IND,577) d Yi Tsen CHO (TPE,1067) 5-7 6-3 6-2
Hope she has got enough match practice in the first two rounds as she plays the top seed next.
[QF] (7) Zeel DESAI (IND,577) vs. (1) Bunyawi THAMCHAIWAT (THA, 421)

Re: Zeel Desai thread
Zeel Desai lists Paradorn Srichapan as her coach on her bio at the ITF site. Does anyone know more about this?

Re: Zeel Desai thread
She has been playing a lot of tournaments in Thailand in last couple of months. So, probably she has shifted her training base with an acadamy with Paradon as head. Just assuming.

Re: Zeel Desai thread
It feels like yesterday when Mr. 65 was a young sensation in Asia.... Does anybody remember that we used to call him that?

Re: Zeel Desai thread
Nice to see Zeel live up to her seeding in South Africa. Surely a good opportunity to advance to the final too!

Re: Zeel Desai thread
It's been a while since this thread got bumped.
In general, this generation of Indian girls makes me sad. We all had such high hopes from Mahak, MIhika, Zeel, Pranjala but none of them have progressed. Even KKT is out injured.

Re: Zeel Desai thread
[SF] 3-Zeel DESAI (IND,800) vs. 2-Merel HOEDT (NED,799) 26 41 retd
Zeel has just broken to go 3-1 up in the second set, after losing the first.
These two are partnering each other in the doubles, where they are seeded second and will be playing the final against the top seeds later today.
Soon after I wrote the above, Zeel comfortably held to go 4-1 up, but asked for a medical time-out. And then she conceded

Re: Zeel Desai thread
All these girls have been hit either by injuries or bad planning as in case of Mahak. But, it is sad. We were looking 1-2 of these girls to graduate to top 100 level. It can still happen but time is flying fast for them to achieve this.Sin Hombre wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2019 4:40 am
