Tennis Tournament - Day 12

Welcome to the updates for Day 12 of the tennis tourney. The Mahasangraam, took toll on one more team yesterday and the winners made their way to the semifinals. Here is the update.

Subhash-Viru vs Sanjay-Prakash:
Sanjay-Prakash, before the start of the tournament, were rated as the Underdogs or Average Joes, but they showed their mettle when they handed over a humiliating defeat to VIkram-Viral. Yesterday they were pitted against one of the best in the Center court, but they showed a lot of character and courage. Each point was a fight and each game a struggle. There were rallies where all the players were running throughout the court. But, for Sanjay-Prakash their opponents were far too good. Viru-Subhash won most of these close fought points and kept their heads up. They broke almost all the services from their opponents and kept their own services. This resulted in a straight sets victory for the Sholay duo and secured their semifinal berth.

Final Result: Subhash-Viru beat Sanjay-Prakash: 6-1.6-1

Today's upcoming action:
Today we have 2 games lined up in Mahasangraam. In the first one it is the Bengal Tigers Aakash-Shubha pitted against the formidable duo of Venkat-Saurav in their round 2 doubles match. Aakash and Shubha had a tough round 1 match, it was the first and only 3 setter of the tourney till now. But since then Shubha is going great guns, he has improved his game a lot and given his opponents a run for their money. Aakash seems to be low on practice but he should be able come into his own soon enough. As for Saurav-Venkat, it is the Achilles and his Myrmidon, they have subdued their round 1 opponents without losing a single game, so will the Tigers be the Hunters or the hunted, let time decide.

In the 2nd action for the day the classy and technical Prashant faces the agile and energetic Subhash in their round 2 singles encounter. Both of them are good players and each one has his own strengths/weakness. They have contrasting styles of play as Subhash is more aggressive and attacking whereas Prashant is Mr. Cool , Mr. Slow but Mr. Consistent.
