Anirudh Chandrasekar

[Dinesh]

Anirudh and VSP seemed to have split after having a great year (3 CH titles) as Ani is playing with Bart Stevens (NED) at the Metz ATP 250 this week, while VSP and Jeevan are playing in a Finnish challenger.

Anirudh/Bart won their first round match against local pair of Arribage/Sanchez 6-3 6-4.

This win pushes Anirudh to a top-90 spot (#86 to be exact) in the doubles rankings.

Starting this thread, since at the age of 25, he is now our 4th best doubles player and will potentially have a long career with numerous partners as a doubles specialist.

Too early to say that Ani and VSP have split. Aniruddh's doubles rankings is higher, so he got an opportunity to get into ATP tournament this week and he took it. Bart Steven was a quarter finalist at Wimbledon this year. So, great for Aniruddh to be getting to play with him.

Worth noting that VSP and Jeevan already planned to enter the Finnish challenger (entry list comes out on Tuesdays of previous week) while Bart and Anirudh probably signed in as alternates after Bart’s partner JP Smith withdrew his initial commitment. VSP/Jeevan are playing in another challenger next week, as well.

Anyway, Bart and Anirudh lost to Doumbia/Reboul 6-2 6-4 today.
