Vishnu Vardhan/N. Sriram Balaji (pair) thread

Post by sameerph »

As has been put in the other threads, this pair is trying to make a transition to ATP tour this year and will be playing a lot of tournaments together. So, thought it better to open a thread to discuss their progress rather than following in their individual player threads.

This week they are playing singles qualies and doubles at a German challenger.

At $50K(+H) Koblenz Challenger, Germany (Hard)

[Q1] VARDHAN, Vishnu (IND,509) d. ROELOFSE, Ruan (RSA,716) 67(5) 76(6) 75

[Q1] (8) BALAJI, N.Sriram (IND,393) d. KLEIN, Lukas (SVK,533) 64 76(6)

Good wins by both.

Next,

[Q2] VARDHAN, Vishnu (IND,509) vs. (3) SERDARUSIC, Nino (CRO,302)

[Q2] (8) BALAJI, N.Sriram (IND,393) vs. TOREBKO, Peter (GER,540)

If they win, Q3 will also be played today.

Doubles draw not yet out.

Joris De Loore was in and around top 200 most of the last couple of years. So, it was a decent effort by Balaji but unfortunately fell short.

So, now in doubles,

At $50K(+H) Koblenz Challenger, Germany (Hard)

[R1] BALAJI, N.Sriram (IND) / VARDHAN, Vishnu (IND) vs. (WC) CHOINSKI, Jan (GER) / MOELLER, Marvin (GER)

[R1] (4) BALAJI, N.Sriram (IND) / VARDHAN, Vishnu (IND) l. (WC) CHOINSKI, Jan (GER) / MOELLER, Marvin (GER) : 4-6, 6-7 :damn:

A very Bad loss for Balaji/Vishnu against a local WC pair who are ranked in 1000+. They broke their opponents in both the sets, but couldn't consolidate the breaks and ended up losing their serves more frequently as well.
