Tennis News 
At $576K Bangkok ATP Open, Thailand

[Q2] Rohan Bopanna (IND,349) l (3) Lukas Dlouhy (CZE,167) 26 62 46
[Q2] (4) Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi (PAK,206) bt (6) Luka Gregorc (SLO,237) 67(0) 62 76(4)

This was winnable match for Rohan but I think these days lack of singles participation hurted his chances ... In third set crucial break came into 7th game  but when Lukas was serving for the match Rohan had break point which he couldn't manage to convert it ... In match Bops had 9 break-point chances but converted only 2, other hand Lukas had 7 break-point chances and he converted 3.

[R1] OLARU Ioana Raluca (ROU)/ UBEROI Shikha (IND,757) vs (4) CRAYBAS Jill (USA)/ ERAKOVIC Marina (NZL)

At $50K Lubbock Challenger, TX, USA

[R1] (5) RAM Rajeev (USA,182) vs (Q) LA PORTE Shane (USA,601)

Doubles -
[R1] AMRITRAJ Stephen (IND)/ MCCLUNE Michael (USA) vs (WC) BRELER Michael (SWE)/ MARKOVIC Sinisa (BIH)

This week Rajeev playing in singles only ... Stephen having better draw in doubles than previous weeks but main problem is how much that going to help him when he is playing with different partner every week.
----------------------------------------------------------

Interestingly Prakash is also shown in the singles main draw of Grenobale Challanger in France playing against Gary Lugasssy in round one ... This is quite strange as he also shown in doubles draw of Bucharest Challenger II ... How can he play singles at one place & doubles at another?

So I think most probably Kash will be playing in France and by mistake his name put in Bucharest Challenger II doubles draw.
