Tennis News
At Legg Mason Classic ATP Tournament, Washington, USA

[Q1] (9)Somdev Devvarman (IND,152) bt Tatsuma Ito (JPN,270) 63 63

Ito started breaking Somi's serve in the 1st game but then Somi broke Ito's serve in 2nd and 4th game ... After that both hold their serve and Somi won first set in 49 mins ... In second set dominating performance by SOmi, who broke Ito's serve in 3rd and 9th games but more importantly he didn't lose a single point on his own serve.

Mostly in final qualifying round Somi will face 110th rannked Frenchman Josselin Ouanna.

At 2009 FIVB Men's Junior Volleyball World Championship, Pune, India

Pool A
India l Belarus 21-25 25-22 23-25 25-20 11-15
USA bt Tunisia 21-25 25-19 25-15 25-21

But today I m very disappointed by our performance ... There was a huge difference between our team's performance in 2 days ... With miserable performance our body language wasn't good on court ... In today's match Indian team never looked into rhythm against Belarus which they showed against Tunisia.

Our players were hitting smashes on Belarus blockers and too many unnecessary soft touches near the net ... We played exceptional in patches ... Though we won 2 sets but we never looked the team who was going to win.

Need all game improvement for our team against US team.
