** Sushant Chiba usually plays a 500 before the IW/Miami swing, but didn't do so this time because it didn't occur to me. A mistake, although a minor one.

** Amrik Kasaravalli needed rest and training, and got it. Form is still high but it's down from where it was in the upper 20s.

** Satyajit Guha and Nasir Chittoor played another amateur event (clay, Munich) in late February. I'd planned on waiting to get Chittoor out there but he was having a bit too easy a time of it in practice events. I was toying with the idea of having him jump to futures. That was clearly putting the cart well before the horse, as he lost in the final for the second straight tournament. It did boost his ranking from about 1500th to 1300th, and results have been better since so I think he's ranked closer to his playing level now. The pairing won in doubles for the third straight amateur, while Guha was knocked out in the first round of singles.
