Excellent week here for our South Indian express. They face top seeds Santiago Gonzalez/Wesley Koolhof (Artem's regular partner). Hope they get their 3rd CH title this year. :goodluck:

Really an impressive run on the clay after the grass court season.

At SkiStar Swedish Open ATP 250, Bastad, Sweden (Clay)

Balaji and Vishnu have won the first set and are up by a break in the second set.
Melzer and Petzschner come back strongly in the second to break our pair twice and bag the second set at 6-4.
On to the Match tie break now. Balaji and Vishnu lost it 8-10. They were neck to neck up until 7-7, when SB/VV lost couple of points to give the lead to their opponents. Even though they pulled one point back, in the end they fall short.
I believe that this is a match which SB/VV should have pocketed easily being a set and a break up. An opportunity lost. :-(

[R1] Sriram Balaji (IND) / Vishnu Vardhan (IND) l. (PR) Jurgen Melzer (AUT) / Philipp Petzschner (GER) : 7-5, 4-6, 8-10

The top-seeds Vishnu and Bala lost in two tie-breaks against Spanish pair ... I am surprised to see that they r sticking to play on clay instead travelling for big Asian challengers or playing in North America hard court season.

Bala and Vishnu r playing in a German challenger ... A tough field as they r unseeded and playing against Belgian pair.

Another early loss for Bala and Vishnu against Belgian pair ... I think, they will sooner move to the hard courts in US or Asia after completing their training with playing in European challengers.
