Tennis smash-house<BR>
Leander and Bhupathi have done us proud by finishing as the No. 2 pair in the world last year and still we are not satisfied. For that matter even they are not! So the good news is that they will be going all-out for the No. 1 spot as well as hunt around for a grand slam title or two in 1999. Something tells me they are going to do it this year, now that the Jacco Eltingh and Paul Harrhuis partnership forced to part company. It is also heartening to note that Mahesh and Leander have finally a win over the pearless woodies under their belt.<BR>
The Asia cup triumph and the good show at the Asian Games without the Leander histrionics shows that the second string has finally broken through. Syed Fazaluddin has shown promise and of course Prahlad Srinath is competing with the best that the Asian challenge has to offer. Syed Fazaluddin has been performing creditably in gaining some useful ATP points and will be a player to watch in the near future. <BR>
The juniors too are progressing nicely. Especially Vijay Kannan who seems to be headed for bigger things in a couple of years if he continues to improve at the same rate as he has been doing now. The Kirtanes of Pune have shown signs of becoming the next hot doubles team in India as they swept titles at will on the satellite circuit in India in the latter part of 1998. But they have some way to go before they can think of matching the deeds of the premier doubles pair in India. They have to work hard to maintain their postion in the Indian team as the youngsters are threatening to take over the fourth and fifth spots. Overall our second string looks good and we can hope for a good future in tennis.<BR>
