M15/M25- Chandigarh/Ahmedabad/Bengaluru-March 2025

[deekshith_ttr]

A big upset by Rohan Mehra, nice win over Italian for Karan:

[R1] Rohan Mehra (IND, 1724) d. Yuvan Nandal (IND, 1004) 64 06 64
[R1] Stefan Vujic (AUS, 1199) d. Kriish Tyagi (IND, UNR) 61 76(6)

The downfall of Yuvan Nadal since last September is unreal, he is not able to win anything since then and expected Kriish to win this match but looks like not able to transit from jnr levels or may be settled down to play College Tennis

11 Indians are in last 16. 4 all Indian matches- Karan-Rohan Mehra, Vishnu Vardhan-Ishaque Eqbal, SidR-Manish and Dev Javia-Nitin Sinha, 6th seed SidV meets Vucic and other 2 Indians - Abhinav Sanjeev, Madhvin Kamath play seeds.

Expecting 5 Indians to be in QF, 6 would be great.

[PKBasu]

5 Indians in the singles QF at Chandigarh, including several with big upsets in the last-16 stage:

[R2] Karan Singh (IND, 488) d. Rohan Mehra (IND, 1724) 76(2) 36 61
[R2} Madhvin Kamath (IND, 2063) d. 8-Grigoriy Lomakin (KAZ, 858) 64 60.
[R2] Ishaque Eqbal (IND, 1051) d. Vishnu Vardhan (IND, 1075) 63 62
[R2] Nitin Kumar Sinha (IND, 1200) d. 4-Dev Javia (IND, 609) 64 63
[R2] Manish Sureshkumar (IND, 924) d. Sidharth Rawat (IND, 852) 64 46 63

[R2] Jay Clarke (GBR) d. AS Shanmugam 62 61

Not surprised with the result of Lomakin, he has been in terrible form nowadays. So, expected a win from Kamath!! I think at least 2 Indians need to be in SF

[PKBasu]

It's nearly an all-Indian line-up in the doubles semifinals. Vishnu Vardhan/Sai Karteek Reddy Ganta, Nitin Sinha/Prajwal Dev, Dev Javia/Chirag Duhan, and A Lakshamanan/F Fumagalli are the four pairs in the SF.
Good tournament for Nitin, who is also in the singles QF.

Quarterfinal line-up in singles at the Chandigarh M15:

[QF] 1-Jay Clarke (GBR, 294) vs. W-Madhvin Kamath (IND, 2063)
{QF] Nitin Kumar Sinha (IND, 1200) vs. Stefan Vujic (AUS, 1199)
{QF] 3-Shin Woobin (KOR, 567) vs. Manish Sureshkumar (IND, 924)
[QF] 2-Karan Singh (IND, 488) vs. Ishaque Eqbal (IND, 1051)

At least 1 and at most 4 Indians will be in the SF

[PKBasu]

Doubles line-up:

[SF] Lakshmanan/Fumagalli vs. 3-Vardhan/Ganta
[SF] 2-SDPDev/NK Sinha vs. 4-Javia/Duhan

19 year old Aryan Lakshmanan may be the youngest Indian heading toward becoming a doubles specialist. He does play singles qualifiers at Futures, but has made only one singles main draw in the past 3 months.

[QF] 1-Jay Clarke (GBR, 294) vs. W-Madhvin Kamath (IND, 2063)
{QF] Nitin Kumar Sinha (IND, 1200) vs. Stefan Vujic (AUS, 1199)

[QF] 2-Karan Singh (IND, 488) vs. Ishaque Eqbal (IND, 1051)

At least 1 and at most 4 Indians will be in the SF

Looking to Karan and Nitin to make the SFs. Good luck to all 5 Indians in QF!

[sameerph]

Australian Vujic appears to be in very good form beating 2 good Indian players- Kriish Tyagi and Sid Viswakarma in straight sets. So, I think he is slight favourite against Nitin Sinha and Jay Clarke and Korean Shin Woobin are clear favourites against Madhvin and Manish respectively. So, I will be pleasantly surprised if we get more than 1 player in the SF.

Looking to Karan and Nitin to make the SFs. Good luck to all 5 Indians in QF!

Karan is injured. I won't be surprised if Eqbal upsets him, but hopefully, Karan will pull it off!!

[PKBasu]

Pathetic show, as just one Indian made it to the QF:

[QF] 1-Jay Clarke (GBR, 294) d. W-Madhvin Kamath (IND, 2063) 75 41 retd
[QF] Nitin Kumar Sinha (IND, 1200) l. Stefan Vujic (AUS, 1199) 67(11) 76(2) 26
[QF] 3-Shin Woobin (KOR, 567) d. Manish Sureshkumar (IND, 924) 75 76(1)
[QF] 2-Karan Singh (IND, 488) l. Ishaque Eqbal (IND, 1051) 67(4) 76(8) 63

[PKBasu]

[SF] Lakshmanan/Fumagalli d. 3-Vardhan/Ganta 76(5) 06 10-8

[sameerph]

At Chandigarh M15

[SF] Ishaque Eqbal (IND,1051) l. (3) Shin Woobin (KOR,567) 63 36 67(2)

Ishaque was up 5-2 in the third set and just could not close out the match.

[jayakris]

^^^ Lost a great chance to make 4 more ATP points .... But an excellent run by Ishaque.

[PKBasu]

Pretty pathetic that we didn't get a singles finalist even in an M15 in India...
