January

World Team Cup, Round 1

We get the United States right away, and #7 Tristan Allende did us a favor by not showing up. That meant fading Dick Blake as their second player, and we beat him twice. Lost doubles, knocking Mehul back out of the Top 200 and into futures land again in that discipline. That meant it was all up to Stuart Pargeter, #5 in the world and the top American player. We needed to beat him once to get a third win. Chiba failed on the first day in four sets, but Dudwadkar got him on Thursday, also in four.

Sri Lanka beats the United States 3-2, giving them a stranglehold on the group. It looks likely to come down to us against France once again this year.

Ritwik Dudwadkar then went on to win in Brisbane(250), barely getting by Brasher in the quarterfinals. Sushant Chiba lost to K. Kaspar 6-3, 6-4 in the Auckland semis, then won the title in Auckland. It was far from easy. A third-set tiebreak was close in the QFs against Ugljesa Svajnovic, then a blast from the past took him to three in the semis; WC Hsuang-tsung Teng. The final against Duncan wasn't actually much of a problem. Anil Mehul had a couple of first-round futures exits, though he did make a final in doubles, while Amrik Kasaravalli didn't play any competitive events over the first few weeks.
