Just starting this thread for Balajeevan, as Dinesh requested in the Jeevan thread.
They have made their first ATP tour event direct entry for doubles at the ATP250 in Marseille, France (Indoor hard) net week. Congrats.

Re: N.Sriram Balaji/ Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan Thread
After Chennai challenger this week, they are going to play back to back ATP tournaments in next 2 weeks - Marseille ATP on indoor hard courts next week and Santiago ATP in Chile on clay the week after.
So much travelling for them - Europe to India back to Europe and than South America in 4 weeks. Hope it pays dividends.

Re: N.Sriram Balaji/ Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan Thread
Wow, that is an excellent upset win for them and sweet revenge for loss in Pune ATP final.
Jeevan is 87 and Balaji is 94 in live rankings. Yuki at a career high of 78 and Saketh at 79. All of them are moving up.

Re: N.Sriram Balaji/ Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan Thread
Yes, a wonderful victory over the 3rd seeds. Their opponents in the QF are ranked 81 (Qureshi) and 101 (Brown) in the live rankings, so their combined ranking is one worse than Balaji-Jeevan. Essentially a dead heat, which hopefully our upcoming pair will pull off.

Re: N.Sriram Balaji/ Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan Thread
Nice upset win for Bala/G1! Having said that, they are starting this week behind the 9-ball as they made it in this week directly and not as ALTs (check their exploits this year when they entered as ALTs )
Now that they have opened up the draw, they need to take advantage of it for themselves rather than handing it over to the other teams in their path. Make it their worthwhile by winning the QF and give it their all against the top-seeds, who are their potential opponents in the Semis...

A win over a Pakistani is always nice, even if it is a Pakistani we like!
