ATP tournaments in N.America (pre-US Open) 2023

[Dinesh]

Mukund lost. Anirudh/VSP through the the FQR with a 11-9 win in the MTB. But they have a tough task awaits when they face singles specialists BUBLIK/Greikspoor tomorrow.

[rajitghosh]

Bad that Mukund lost to such a low ranked. India's singles is in a really deplorable state now. Apart from Sumit who can only play on clay we don't have anyone.

Anirudh/VSP lost in a close match 57 64 6-10 against Bublik and Greikspoor in final qualifying round at Washington. Hoping for a LL spot.

As discussed elsewhere, Yuki and Saketh are playing with different partners this week at Los Caobs ATP 250. Also Bala-Jeevan are playing here.

At Los Cabos ATP 250, Mexico (Hard)

[R1] Yuki Bhambri (IND) / Ben Mclachlan (JPN) vs. (1) Satiango Gonzalez (MEX) / Edouard Roger-Vasselin (FRA)

[R1] Saketh Myneni (IND) / Luis David Martinez (VEN) vs. (WC) Ernesto Escobedo (MEX) / Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez (MEX)

[R1] N. Sriram Balaji (IND) / Jeevan Neduncheziyan (IND) vs. Diego Hidalgo (ECU) / Cristian Rodriguez (COL)

[jayakris]

Changed the title from "US" to "N.America" so Mexico is included

[prashanthm]

[R1] Saketh Myneni (IND) / Luis David Martinez (VEN) d. (WC) Ernesto Escobedo (MEX) / Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez (MEX) 63 26 10-5

Not an easy win for Saki/Martinez, but a win neverthless...

[Omkara]

But a win. Should help Saki's morale.

[jayakris]

[R1] Saketh Myneni (IND) / Luis David Martinez (VEN) d. (WC) Ernesto Escobedo (MEX) / Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez (MEX) 63 26 10-5
Not an easy win for Saki/Martinez, but a win neverthless...

Escobedo is a former top-75 singles player and Pacheco-Mendez is the current junior #2 who was #1 just a few weeks ago. It is a good win.

At Los Cabos ATP 250, Mexico (Hard)

[R1] Yuki Bhambri (IND) / Ben Mclachlan (JPN) l. (1) Satiango Gonzalez (MEX) / Edouard Roger-Vasselin (FRA) 36 36

[R1] N. Sriram Balaji (IND) / Jeevan Neduncheziyan (IND) l. Diego Hidalgo (ECU) / Cristian Rodriguez (COL) 76(4) 46 0-10

Other two teams lost....
Not sure what happened to Bala/G1 in the match tie-breaker as they lost 0-10....

[sameerph]

Bala/Jeevan pair has not been doing well ever since Jeevan had that injury break couple of months back.

Yuki got a very tough draw against top seeds which included local favorite.

[sameerph]

Saketh and his partner lost in QF.

At Los Cabos ATP 250, Mexico (Hard)

[QF] Saketh Myneni (IND) / Luis David Martinez (VEN) l. Andrew Harris (AUS) / Dominik Koepfer (GER) 63 36 5-10

So, that is it for the week.

Not sure what Yuki-Saki will do for next couple of weeks.

Yuki has signed up along with Yohishito Nishioka for Toronto and Cincy masters but is 7 out and 5 out respectively. I do not know we see that many withdrawals from masters tournaments.

Saketh will certainly not get into these masters. So, he may play challengers with someone else in those weeks or just take a break.
