Mahesh: I am with you.. Something is screwed up at the ATP rank list.. They did update it after Hartford (only for team arankings, others are same as on Nov 17th), and I think they made a mistake and missed the 160 points from the round robin or something.. somebody may have even typed it in wrong into the computer.. do check up on it later, OK ?


Player (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:16 IST)
What are your other hobbies / pastimes? or is it ONLY Tennis?

K Mad (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:21 IST)

LPMBFAN (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:23 IST)
leander:will u be with Mahesh in Asiad too?


AMISH (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:23 IST)

Leander: I have Mahesh's tentative schedule (got from Rico last week) with 3-4 challengers (singapore, hochimin city, kyoto, bankok) between Dubai and Indian Wells.. Are you planning to be at any of those, or coming to the US earlier than Indian Wells ?


Suwarn (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:27 IST)
Leander>>Can you assess Mahesh's strengths and weaknesses.


Khemchand Jagtiani (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:27 IST)
How come you lost to Leach and Stark? Why did your game come unstuck? Do you guys, like Vijay and Ramesh, crumble at the last hurdle? Yeah, I know that you have won six of the 7 ATP finals, but I thought I'd just ask!


LPMBFAN (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:27 IST)

Mahesh/Leander: So, any early scoops on this new Adidas apparel line for you both.. any names yet ?? "Dapper Dynamic Duo Dressline", perhaps ?


IndianGang (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:32 IST)

Ryan Coelho (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:36 IST)
Thanks. Mahesh: Where would Leander and you have been if it had not been for your supportive dads? Do you think you could have come this far? Did you ever get resentful with your dads because they pushed you so much?


LPMBFAN (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:36 IST)

JayKay (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:40 IST)
Leander: repeat Q: plans to be at challengers between Dubai and Indian Wells, or coming to US early ? Also: Does the Aus O decide the Asian wildcard based on the year-end ranking of Nov 17th with you at #114, or can Ogororov cause trouble if he gets many points next week ?


Pintax (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:41 IST)
PLEASE NO QUESTIONS IN THE VERNACULAR, we also have a right to know whatz one asking ???


JayKay (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:42 IST)

JayKay (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:48 IST)
Leander: please use that backhand top spin more often.. I was looking at the tape againt Wheaton, and I feel two shots with backhand top spin would have won you that match.. Of course, you said you are working on it.. actually you have a damn good shot, just need to to use it I guess.. well, you know more than me on that !

LPMBfan : U would have had a chance if u had come for the Diana Hayden chat !!


LPMBFAN (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:55 IST)
Mahesh: please answer me.


SHENOY (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:56 IST)
Leander: Why is it that your singles results in Davis Cup are far better than elsewhere? Is it because you have a lot of company during davis cup (coaches, manager, friends like Mahesh etc)? Do you fell lonely and lackadaisical when these people are not around you sometimes??


SANDRA SAWADA (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:56 IST)
MAHESH, SO FOR SURE YOU BOTH ARE NOT GOING TO BE AT INDIAN WELLS????POSITIVELY??

JayKay (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:57 IST)
Leander/mahesh: 100% sure you both won't be at Indian Wells (I know it's a tough 56-draw and is a pain to qualify for) ? I guess I have to buy a ticket and come to Florida the week after, then ...


AMISH (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:57 IST)
MAHESH & LEANDER> ARE PRIVATE COMPANIES HELPING TO DEVELOP YOUNGSTERS IN INDIA??????????


vicky (Fri Nov 28 1997 7:57 IST)

Leander>>What is the kind of coaching you are getting now? Who coaches you? Full-time, or part-time? Are you satisfied with the arrangement, or are you working towards a full-time coach accompanying you on tour?

Leander: I was one of the lucky few who got to meet you after you won the bronze medal at Atlanta Olympics. (During the photo shoot for INdia Today). I want you to know that you have been a source of inspiration for me. I started going to the gym regularly after that, and am a serious health & fitness freak now :-))
