Tennis News
At Cincinnati Masters, USA (ATP Masters 1000 tournament)

[R2] (3) Leander Paes (IND)/ Lukas Dlohy (CZE) l David Ferrer (ESP)/ Tommy Robredo (ESP) 26 46

Disappointing stuff from Lee and Lukas in this one-sided loss.

At $35K+H Karshi Challanger, Uzbekistan

[QF] Purav RAJA (IND)/ Sadik KADIR (AUS) bt (1) Pierre-Ludovic DUCLOS (CAN)/ Denys MOLCHANOV (UKR) 62 63
[SF] Purav RAJA (IND)/ Sadik KADIR (AUS) bt (4) Kaden HENSEL (AUS)/ Adam HUBBLE (AUS) 76(4) 64

[F] Purav RAJA (IND)/ Sadik KADIR (AUS) vs Andis JUSKA (LAT)/ Deniss PAVLOVS (LAT)

Really terrific run for Purav with impressive win over top-seed and 4th seed pairs ... This is his second doubles challenger final ... So this time Purav should lift title with Kadir beating Latvian pair.

At $50K+H Trani Challanger, Italy (clay)

[QF] (1) Rohan BOPANNA (IND)/ Frank MOSER (GER) l Jamie Delgado (GBR)/ Jamie Murray 16 46

May be lack of match practice and still not 100% fit troubling Rohan ... He should keep playing more challengers in Europe to test his fitness and getting much needed match practice before important Davis Cup tie.

At $10K India F7 Futures, New Delhi

Singles Semi Finals
(1) Vishnu VARDHAN (IND) bt (5) Peter LUCASSEN (NED) 64 62
(2) Young-Jun KIM (KOR) bt (3) Chris EATON (GBR) 63 63

Good to see Vishnu keep dominating Indian circuit with his current form ... I feel he should graduate to next level (playing more challengers and $15K futures abroad) after finishing 3 weeks Indian futures to improve further and achieve more success in the future.
