Anil Mehul was the busy man this time around. He was up first in the Kremlin Cup(250), bashing his way through to an easy win, with Caminha his finals opposition. The next week, all three of the top players were at it. Mooljee and Mehul played in the Swiss Indoors, with Girsh at Vienna. Both are 500-level events. Mehul suffered a disheartening quarterfinal loss to Federer, 2-6, 7-6(4), 7-6(3), one which he should have won but unfortunately left all of his best tennis behind in the first set. Mooljee won the Swiss title, with his toughest encounter a 7-5, 7-6(2) win over Tiosav Srbulovic in the semis. Girsh found success as well, though it wasn't easy. He was pushed to three sets by Zakirov in the semifinals, then needed a pair of tiebreaks to beat Bourdet in the title match. Still, definitely a good warm-up for both players.
