The " Super-Mario" Showed It....

Just days after coming to the City, Mario Ancic showed why he is among top players.
On the opening day of the Kingfisher Airlines Tennis Open at the CCI on Monday the Croat beat Russia's Igor Kunitsyn 6-3, 6-2 in the first round.
It was sweet revenge for him as he had lost to Kunitsyn in an ATP Challenger in Seoul in 2002. On whether he was playing at his best, Ancic said: "Every match is of huge importance.
Hopefully I will get better and better. I served very well and did not give him time to return."
As Indiatimes says, "The No.2 seed and world No.11 had plenty in his armoury to
dispatch his hapless Russian opponent. His serves thudded into hoardings.
Kunitsyn had his hands full trying to guess which corner Ancic would serve to.
It was not only the serve, his forehands were also on song. His volleying was
slightly wayward as he muffed up a few sitters."
and The Baby-faced croat also showed that he is famous among Girls... I am not biased, I am just his fan...GO MARIO...

There was disappointment for India as Karan Rastogi went down tamely to Germany's Bjorn Phau 0-6, 3-6.
Source: Indiatimes"Germany's Phau was fast off the blocks in his match against
Rastogi. His backhand was poetry in motion. He belted down winners with ease. He
was equally at ease going crosscourt or down the line with his favourite shot.
One backhand especially was breathtaking as he somehow managed to hit a winner
from a tight angle. However, it was the depth of the German's shots which had
Rastogi on the backfoot. He was unable to deal with the pace and accuracy of the
German's groundstrokes. "
And the Day's Biggest upset... Top Seeds Stunned!!!Rohan Bopanna and Mustafa Ghouse ousted top seeds Alexander Peya and Bjorn Phau 6-3, 6-4 in a doubles first round match. Celebrations please...

from Indiatimes: The Indians combined well to roll to a facile victory. While
the Indians attacked relentlessly their opponents stayed rooted to the baseline.
"It was quite funny because we knew we were playing together just half an hour
before the draw," said Ghouse.
