At the Wimbledon 2009,

[Q3] (28) Prakash Amritraj (IND,154) l Michael Yani (USA,253) 63 57 36 46
[Q3] Rajeev Ram (USA,160) bt Andrea Stoppini (ITA,177) 64 62 64

Doubles
[Q2] (7) Prakash Amritraj (IND)/ Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi (PAK) bt (4) Sanchai Ratiwatana (THA)/ Sonchat Ratiwatana (THA) 76(5) 64

Prakash started well winning first set easily but from second set Yani started playing (may be) well or Prkash game was down ... Prakash had his chances but he didn't take it ... Yani broke his serve in 12th game to won second set ... Third set also he won with one break of serve ... In 4th set Yani broke Prakash's serve in the first game then Prkash had opportunities of breaking Yani's serve but he couldn't take it ... Prakash got important break in 8th game to make it 4-all ... But Yani wasn't in mood of losing this biggest opportunity of his career ... He broke back in 9th game and hold his serve to scored huge victory over Prakash.

For me this was big opportunity lost for Prakash as he had very favorable draw ... And he was playing on his most likable surface ... Yani was a challenger level player so Prakash should win this match ... Again for me this was disappointing performance from Kash.

But in doubles he qualified for maindraw with Aisam beating Ratiwatana brothers ... This win was expected as these both players loved to play on grass so Ratiwatanas had difficult match.

Rajeev kept his composure and scored easy victory to moved into singles maindraw.
