Tournament - Day 4
Match 4 (Glamour Brothers v/s I-90 Cops)
The match had it all, even before the first ball was served. The pre-match war of words, media hype (or was it over-hype), Fan's Dilemma (read Aldo) to support which team, last minute venue changes.. But alas.. the tale was completely different once on court, as in a dead-rubber game, Glam Bros unceremoniously trashed I-90 Cops 6-2, 6-2.
Going into a much anticipated, all mallu game, both teams had a point to prove. Glam Bros, one of the tournament favourites, after their hard lose against APs had all at stake to enter super 6 and I-90, looking for an upset here, wanted the title of dark horses of the tournament. And so did I-90 start off with a flyer, claiming first 2 games taking 2-0 lead into the match. Though Joyan's sparkle of brilliance & Sanal's uncanny returns got GM stunned initially, the pyrotechnics did not last long as Glam Bros quickly found their rhythm back & claimed the set 6-2 & later the match as easily.
"I was thinking of making them sweat their blood for this win, but seems like the weather was a bit too cold for them to sweat.." Said the losing captain Joyan, who is never short of words(duh.. rather excuse ;)
"Good we are back in tournament. The first game was a shocker to lose & hope we keep this momentum if we make it to super 6" Menon spoke for Glam Bros.
Lotsa Interesting matches lined up..
Will the star player Kalesh shine for Drunken Monks after his hectic international tour ? What will be the new plans from strategist team 'Super Kings' in next match ? Will Kabhi in Kabhi Out make it to the court ever again ?
Look out for this space.. as all of it unravels in coming days...
The sun sets for the day here. Thanks for tuning in folks !!

This opens up Group A. If I90's can come back to defeat AP, then theres a three-way tie for the next round! AP in prep for the game trow :)
If I90 wins t'row, since point & head to head wins are tied between 3 teams, the next point to break the tie is set win percentage. Since AP v/s GM was a 3 setter & GM v/s I-90 was a two setter, GM is through & statistically more chances of AP going out of tournament .. lols :)
Congrats to the Glamour Bros!You guys rock!Keep it up :)!
