Tennis Tournament - Day 15

Welcome to the Day 15 of the Tourney. Mahasangraam saw two more exciting matches yesterday. Here is the update.

Vijay vs Shashwath:
This one was yet another 3 setter as Shashwath put back his first set defeat to take on the second set. Stylish Vijay started off from where he had left in his first round match. There were slow and long rallies where accuracy mattered more than the pace. Shashwath tried putting the ball on all the places in Vijay's court but Vijay ran hard and returned almost everything thrown at him by Shash. Moreover Shashwath committed a lot of unforced errors. Vijay took the first set 6-4 but Shashwath took the second 6-4. Only 4 games could be completed for the third set after which bad light was called by the Umpires.

Scores till now: Vijay vs Shash: 6-4,4-6,3-1.

Saurav vs Deepan:
Deepan a tired player after his arduous match with Shubha, seemed to be no match to the class of the Achilles. Moreover there were unpredictable winds which seemed to change direction almost every second. Saurav returned everything thrown at him by the Maratha and treated him some immaculate placement for which Deepan had no answer. Deepan was able to take 2 games against him though but well that did not seem to be enough. Saurav won the game in straight sets.

Final Result: Saurav beat Deepan: 6-1,6-1

Today's Upcoming Action:
Today we'll be treated with 3 exciting encounters. Subhash and Prashant face off to continue their match from the 3rd set, the scores are tied at 6-3,3-6.
Vijay and Shashwath will continue their encounter today, hope the Indian inspiration works today.

There were rains earlier today so the courts could be wet but the sun is out now and the courts could dry soon. Strong storms are forecasted for 6 pm today followed by partly cloudy skies later. Temperature to remain around 85 deg and high winds. The sun sets at 8.26 pm today.
