Conny has kept the levels high for us and that’s what she did again today in the Women’s singles and Mixed doubles games. They had Dennis Novak with them who is a regular in the ATP tour circuit but Dijvijay gave him a tough fight. Arjun is our doubles expert and I am glad we saw what we are capable of with him.”
