Karan Rastogi Thread ...

[michael]

I remember Jay saying that Karan will not take much time in getting back to at least his injury protected ranking. He is 648 now and PR is 611. How correct Jay was.

Well done Karan. Hope you do well in Uzb and get back your original ranking inside 400 soon.

Congrats to Karan. That semifinal victory margin suggests that he is truly playing at about his pre-crisis peak levels now, if not better. Bodes very well for the immediate future.

Karan will be playing in Austrlian futures starting sep 6.

Usually the EL and cut off will be much lower compared to other 15k futures ,i wish karan will taste som victories as vishnu did earlier this yr

Not really weak entry list or anything. There are 3 top 250 players playing there & Karan & Rohan Gajjar will not be seeded. In fact it is stronger then couple of European futures in the same week, Hopefully Karan & Rohan go there & create some upsets & get some confidecnce in a tough field.

Aus F5 Futures series,

Karan plays an aussie Jared Easton.

Karan is the Sixth seed here and Gajjar has withdrawn

Hope Karan finish his 3 week schedule better

Courageous move to play in Australia, where the fields will be strong. The experience should stand him in good stead, and if he lives up to or betters his seedings, all the better!
