Tennis Tournament Day-2

Aakash - Shubha vs Sesha - Pavan:
It is said that competition brings the best out of us and our guys proved it. It was a tough encounter which hasn't finished yet !!! Sesha - Pavan dominated the first set with a mix of some classic dropshots and hard hitting. Both players played well at the nets which was found wanting from their opponents. Sesha - Pavan took the set 6-3. The nerves had got to the Bengal Tigers and they seemed to be tamed, but not for long. In the very next set they roared back. The tigers raised their game to a new level and clinched the set 6-1. So in the 2nd day and round 1 of this tourney we had a 3 setter. The tigers continued their form of the 2nd set to lead the third set 4-1 when things started to change. The Carnatic duo started giving an amazing fight back and soon enough they levelled the set at 5-5, the score sheet read something like this 1-4, 2-4, 3-4, 3-5, 4-5, 5-5 ????? It was a treat to watch for us spectators and now it was no more a physical game but a mental contest. Who can hold on, who can fightback, who can win? There were moments of anxiety, ecstasy and emotional frenzy. These engulfed all of us watching as well. A commendable job for the referees who kept their cool all through. The battle raged for 4 more games. Sesha - Pavan fought off 3 match points with the third set tied at 7-7 after which the game had to be called off due to bad light. This match will continue today at 7 pm so be there and don't miss the excitement. And oh.. lest I forget thank you Mr. Rain God for going to Spain (that's too far off .... OK Rochester ... well I donno ... :-) )
