It was a month to forget for us. After losing to Russia 3-2 in the WTC, though Amrik Kasaravalli did manage a five-set win on the final day to make that pill a bit easier to swallow, we proceeded to other matters. Kasaravalli managed a 3-seed at CH1 Sao Paolo, where he lost in three sets in the quarterfinals. To an unseeded player who would win just four games against the 2-seed in the semis. Sushant Chiba did even worse, losing to unseeded players in the QFs of back-to-back 250s; local WC William Todhunter in Brisbane, and eventual finalist Harald Wentz in Sydney. So undistinguished is that pair that it's entirely possible I'll never have cause to mention their names again. .

Both youngsters took the time to train - Chittoor isn't due for another tournament until early March. Chiba, the world no. 2, enters the Australian Open at 3-3 on the young season. Either he pulls his head out of his arse, or the defending champion will be fortunate to so much as make the second week this year.
