Super 6 - Preview

Its said “Everybody wants to be a winner. Who wouldn't want to reach the finish line first? But sometimes winning is not just about finishing first. The spirit of sportsmanship makes each of us a winner, whether we hold the trophy or not.”

Well … how true it stands.. hard fought wins, heavy loses, delayed starts, early exits, fierce battles, damp one siders, controversies, sledging (I am running for cover), tears, triumph.. We have seen it all over the first stage of UL Infy tennis Tournament.
But more importantly we also felt the fun, frolics & festival in it. The celebration it was, of spirit & untiy, sportiveness & jollity.


When the dust settles, 6 better teams stands armored for super 6 stage. A quick look at the super 6 lineup.

Group A - Winners (Ace of Pace)
Starting the tournament with a hard match against Glam Bros, Ace of pace was the first team to make it to super 6. Winning both matches from a tough group has boosted their confidence & stands as one of the tournament favorites.
Strength: Combination of Guru’s calm baseline play & Talat’s agility.
Weakness: Over commitment on the shots at times. Less of cool game.

Group A – Runners up (Glam Bros)
Started the tournament with a loss, but came back strongly to beat I 90 & make their place in super 6. Again match with AP has given them an exposure to one of the toughest opponent in the tournament.
Strength: Young, energetic & fierce. No Injury worries & fittest of all teams.
Weakness: Overconfidence & inexperience at big matches might kill their chances.

Group C – Winners (Rockers)
Keeping a clean sheet thought out the first stage, Rockers entered super 6 without dropping a single set.
Strength: Experience - Both players are well experienced, calm & powerful.
Weakness: Lack of coordination, as both of them haven’t played together too often this season.

Group C – Runners up (Kabhi In Kabhi Out)
After losing first match in style, although after a looooooong break they came back as much as in style to enter super 6. Interestingly their win-loss pattern stands ironic to their team name.(shouldve been Kabhi Out Kabhi In). Hope they change the fortune in super 6
Strength: Can be tough to beat on their day.
Weakness: Laid back game & lack of winner shots.

Group B – Winner (Altimate Viking)
The deadly hubby-wife combo, won both their matches to enter super 6 convincingly. Unarguably the coolest team in the tournament, with clean hits & neat game plan.
Strengths: Super cool. Always sticks to basic shots.
Weakness: Less aggressive & lack of offensive game plan.

Group B – Runners up (coming soon…)
Is it the Super-tacticians Super Kings or the Power-Gamers Drunken Monks ?
The line up will be filled tonight..
