Buckle up players!

There were two predictable matches today in Group B: Sagar/Srinivas vs Tilak/Rex and Mahesh/Me vs Tilak/Rex. In each of the matches Tilak/Rex were vanquished with 8-0!

Group B has had the most flux in terms of the partners. Consider this: Virendra/Ben formed a team. After playing a match, Ben walked away! Then Virendra teamed up with Tilak and they played a match too! But, after losing that match, Virendra lost his heart and he too walked away! Tilak had to team up with Rex finally! Though Tilak individually is a good baseline player, I think, teaming up with relatively a beginner is like inviting a disaster! And that proved costly for him! Finally, there are not eliminated from the tournament!

Let us see how the other teams in the Group B stand:

Sagar / Srinivas

Sagar has been of late fantastic with his forceful forehand, and given his height and raw power that he could generate, the opponents should really worry about the shots deep down the baseline! Srinivas is very consistent in his serves and picking up the open courts in the opponents. His percentage game is a real worry to the opponents.

Mitra / Vigyan

Mitra has a good game technical. Add to this his control and selection of shots and consistency in serves. People, beware of this guy! Vigyan is a very consistent player given that he has a variety of shots to choose from. His forehand shots on a low pitched balls is a treat to the eyes!

Jagdeep / Sanjay

Net! And you should remember Jagdeep! Or, he will make you remember for the rest of the day! :-) Watch the powerful volleys and smashes from him at the net! Sanjay's fierce forehand sometimes troubles the opponents! Of course, it is not his mistake! :-D

Mahesh / Mohan

I was amazed by the spin that Mahesh' forehand generates on the ball! Couple it with his amazing first serve which is a flat and fast one! Let me not talk about myself! Outrageous! Blasphemous, it would be to talk about myself here! Opponents have to just wait and see what Mohan can do! He he he! :D
