Tennis Tournament Day-4

Subhash - Viru (Jay/Viru) vs Ganesh/Sriraj:
As we had earlier pointed out this was a contest to watch. The scoresheet though does not do any justice. It looks like a straight set victory for the Sholay duo but we as spectators know, how hard the fight went for each point, each game. We had far too many deuces and rallies which seemed to go on for ages. For the first time in this tourney, both the teams were not playing within their shell, they were aggressive and ruthless on their opponents. Subhash played some exquisite volleys which returned with equal vigour by both the opponents. In the end it seemed as if Subhash had learnt his lessons from the singles game. His game inspired Viru as well and the victory was theirs.


Final scoresheet: Subhash - Viru beat Ganesh ? Sriraj: 6-1, 6-3


Sanjay-Prakash vs Vikram-Viral:
If I had to write a headline for this it would say ? Mumbai and Jamnagar lashed out by Torrential rains from the North ??????? ?. Yes it was a total disaster and a lackluster performance from the Westerners as Prakash and Sanjay crushed them to a straight set victory. It was perhaps the shortest match of the tourney. There was no real fight back from Viral-Vikram. It was hard to believe that this was the same duo who had beaten Prakash ? Sanjay from 2-4 down to 6-4 up in one of the practice encounters. All in all, a disappointing scoresheet and a poor show.

Final scoresheet: Sanjay-Prakash vs Vikram-Viral: 6-0,6-0.


Today's upcoming action:
Well we have 2 singles games today as the stylish Vijay Ratthinam faces American Pai. Pai is an ever exciting player to watch putting all the emotions into his game nonetheless both are good competitors and VJ has some inspiration back home which might help him win ?.now what?s that don?t ask me.

In the second encounter Rakshas Raaj Girishaasur (Girish Swamy) faces the Mr Fast Serve Shashwat Shetty. Shashwat is known to hit a very fast first serve although he needs an improvement in his overall game. As far as Girish goes, he is again one of our Mr. Classical and Clinical.


Once again a sunny day for our games today.
