Tennis Tournament Day-17

Welcome to the updates for Day 17 of the Tennis Tourney as the Mortal Combat took it's first victim.

Venkat-Saurav vs Subhash-Viru:
As per expectations this match started on a tough note when the first game went for a deuce. Viru kept his service and the Sholay duo took the game. As the match progressed from here on, there were some good hard hits, as both the teams are known to be aggressive. Both Subhash and Saurav are aggressive and agile players at the net. There were a few rallies in between which the ball did not bounce, it was a racquet to racquet rally. Moreover a ball hit to Saurav or Subhash would end the point then and there itself. As both of them got their placements right and hit back hard. But it seemed the Sholay boys had the edge as they went on to lead the first set 2-1 but soon enough our Achilles came to form and Venkat-Saurav were leading 3-2. At 4-4 in the first set, Venkat-Saurav were able to break through Viru-Subhash and took the set 6-4. From then on there was no looking back for them as Venkat-Saurav took 5 games in a row to take a convincing lead in the 2nd set 5-0. Subhash-Viru gave a last ditch attempt and took one game but that was just not enough. A Heartiest Congratulations to the winning team for they make it to the finals of the tourney ........... sahi hai bhidu..

Final Result: Venkat-Saurav beat Subhash-Viru: 6-4,6-1

Today's Upcoming Action:
The Indian inspiration needs to work big time today as Vijay faces the Mighty Achilles, Saurav. Again, 2 contrasting styles of play, Saurav, aggressive, fast and agile and Vijay Mr.Slow but consistent. In all his singles games till now, Saurav has the distinction of not losing more than 2 games per match. Will Vijay be able to break this jinx, will he be able to hit the Achilles heel. Or atleast can he put up a respectable fight like 'Hector', be there at 6pm to witness this amazing encounter.
