Cricketics Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Biggest win by an Indian singles players in a long long time. This is great and kudos to RamKumar. He has now moved onto 180s in the live rankings and will steadily continue to jump up. But there is no doubt, this is a huge upset right before Wimbledon.

Muloghonto Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Great result for Ramanathan and Indian tennis. But they were playing in an empty stadium ?!? shocking- its 1 of 2 Atp event in turkey and an empty stadium seems odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antalyan open never gets big crowd, from my earlier memories of this tournament. No wonder there is no consistent tv coverage. Chennai Open which is also pathetic draws bigger crowd than this tournament after being 250 event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For next few months, Yuki is not defending anything, so he can easily make it to US Open qualies and Ram Kumar too. We have few interesting young players in singles to look forward too.

I read that Thiem was no where near his dominating best and was quite average? Anyway this is good for indian tennis. India has lost quite a few tennis players recently, who never performed to their potential, eg Somdev, Bhambri etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiem is not the greatest player on grass, but still is pretty good whom I expect to have a decent run in Wimbledon. There are many anti-Thiem folks on MTF and other places who would bring about anything to bring Thiem down, just like we have Anti-Kohli and Anti-Dhoni folks on site here.

youngindia Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 take the news with a pinch of salt. Thiem didnt want to be there. Ramkumar is far far from ready to defeat top 50 players. he has to demonstrate top 175 level first.his backhand returns are abysmal. yuki already is around 130 level due to superior experience, just unlucky with injuries.but ramkumar could scale higher eventually. kumar713 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
