Buji is back in top-100 with consistent performance ... Injury-free Yuki is bound to join him in top-100 ... This year some encouraging performance by Prajnesh Ramkumar and Karunuday ... Hoping for at least 10 players around or over top-350 after end of March 2014.

At $400K Aircel Chennai Open 2014, India

So new season will start with Chennai open ... This is 19th edition of the tournament ... Bravo to organizers!!!

Buji made a cut with his current rankings, #90 ... Usual controversy with wild-cards ... Singles wild-card are given to deserving Yuki and second goese to Jeevan, instead of him RK was better candidate ... In the doubles wild-cards given to pairing of Sriram Balaji-Ramkumar Ramanathan and Saketh Myneni with Russian Karen Khachanov ... Here Purav with Buji were better option but TNTA promote their players through Chennai open ... Hopefully our wild-card players took advantage of their chances.
