Devvarman, Paes, and Bhupathi – Wonderful Showmanship

Devvarman, Paes, and Bhupathi – Wonderful Showmanship |

As the No. 1 ranked Indian tennis player, Somdev Devvarman is definitely making a great impression, appearing quite often on the ATP World Tour. He is already ranked 65^th in the world, and is steadily climbing the ranks despite his being on the older side in comparison to other “up n’ comings.” His last appearance was in the 2011 Legg Mason tournament in Washington D.C., and he made it quite far, putting up a nice fight until he was beaten on August 4^th. We should be seeing more of him soon as the ATP Tour has yet some time to come to a close – plus, Devvarman, again, is only getting better, hopefully for a good while before he reaches that unfortunate age when his game starts declining.

Among the likes of Devvarman (except in the Doubles category), we’ve also seen Leander Paes play extraordinary tennis during his last Doubles matches with his fellow Indian Tennis partner, Mahesh Bhupathi. Paes already has a career total of 46 Championship titles and ranks No. 8 in the world Doubles ranking. Sure, this is evidently surprising; however, it seems as though Bhupathi shares the same winning spirit as Paes because he holds an even more impressive record, ranking in at No. 6 in the world Doubles, while throughout his career winning an incredible 48 titles!

Devvarman, Paes, and Bhupathi, among many other excellent tennis players (of Indian or of other nationality alike), demonstrate almost uncanny tennis skills since they perform exceptionally well for their own respective country and well in tournaments such as the ATP. It’s a shame we don’t get to see the likes of them as often as those ranked higher, but that’s the way things end up. At times, those ranked lower soar to greater lengths in certain situations, or against certain opponents; at other times, even the highest ranked may fall to “up n’ comers.” We haven’t seen Devvarman since the Legg Mason Tennis Classic, but Paes & Bhupathi just made a great impression in the current Western & Southern Open, beating Nadal and Lopez and aiming for the top spot. We should wish Paes and Bhupathi the best of luck, not only because they deserve to win as much as others in the Doubles tournament, but because we they show great talent and never fail in surprising us. Next time we do see Devvarman, we’ll definitely welcome him warmly – for his great talent and wonderful showmanship that seems to run in his blood.
