Tennis Tournament - Day 11

It is a privilige to provide you the details for round 2. Yesterday marked the start of the Mahasangraam and it showed it's flavours. The Day 11 of the Tennis Tourney saw some of the toughest matches yet. Here is the update.

Saurav vs Parag:
Yesterday saw the fall of one more warrior to the Mighty Achilles but this time not without a tough fight. Parag fought valiantly against his mighty competitor and was able to break Saurav's dominating streak. Parag won 2 games against him. This is the first time in the tourney that Saurav has lost any game. The scoresheet shows a dominant win for Saurav but we have seen him sweating and gasping on the court. There were many games which went into deuces and many hard fought rallies. Many points which took our breath away. Both the players were slicing the ball so well that we felt as if they were 'finger spinning' the ball. Saurav stayed cool all through, he did not rush into his shots and did seem to be in a hurry. But he was hitting hard as and when required. Some good volleys, dropshots and some exquisite placement from Saurav won him the match.

Final Result: Saurav beat Parag: 6-0,6-2

Shubha vs Deepan:
Some predators make their prey run and tire before pouncing for the kill. We saw our Bengal Tiger, Shubha doing it all through the match. His placments made Deepan run the entire court end to end and forced him into mistakes. Shubha himself was going great guns and did his part of the running too, but Shubha has a powerful backhand and his placements with the backhand were immaculate as well. The first was dominated by Shubha and he took it 6-2. The second set saw the Maratha coming into his own. Deepan started hitting shots he is known to hit and reduced is unforced errors. He was leading the second set 4-1 and all of a sudden the tables seemed to have turned on Shubha. This game though had to be discontinued due to bad light.

Score as now:Shubha vs Deepan: 6-2,2-4 match to be continued later

Today's Upcoming Action:
In the lone game for today, it will be Sanjay-Prakash against the Sholay duo Viru-Subhash(Jay). Over a period of 2 weeks Sanjay and Prakash have improved their game. Prakash has found a new agility and has started playing well at the net. Sanjay on the other hand has discovered a new and consistent first serve. Both of them can hit the ball hard. For Subhash-Viru are one of the best rated teams for this tourney but I think they have a fight on their hand.

Weather man predicts scattered showers for today with temperatures around 80 degrees. The sunsets at 8.33pm today so guys please be on time for the match.
