February/March
Mehul and Girsh both took the month off as expected to practice, and both had an overall disappointing year last year in the first two Masters about to commence. There's an opportunity here for both of them starting in Indian Wells which will soon begin.
Prakash Mooljee had a rather unfortunate draw at the tier-2 Dallas challenger. In the quarterfinals he played Joseph Skirrow(USA, 47th), the best player in the draw and the one player who is basically an equal. Skirrow won 6-4, 7-5, and it was the usual one-match doubles exit. Mooljee will be playing at Kyoto(CH2, Indoors), which has by far the weakest field of the two challengers this week and expecting a better result.
Ritwik Dudwadkar had another tier-5 juniors in Yerevan, winning his qualifying match in doubles but losing again in singles. He'll be back out there again, this time in Noumea, France, in the upcoming week.
With everybody playing somewhere it will be a busy period, with the eyes of the tennis world focused the most on how long Mehul's unbeaten streak to start the year will last ...
