Aircel Chennai Open Tennis Quarterfinals, Chennai (7th Jan 2011)

As I remember, I follow up only Grand slams matches after Quarterfinals. When I was Bangalore, I heard about Chennai Open Tennis and it is usually happens on beginning of every year. It is one of the ATP 250 category.

Few weeks before when I was reading news paper, I saw the advertisement about Chennai Open Tennis 2011 and Ticket sales. I decided to watch the match in the Stadium.

Security Check in the Entrance

After entering stadium, I started clicking Photos using my first digital camera ... (My friend Karthi was insisted me so many times to buy Digital Camera. But I never turned. Anyway finally I bought digital Camera after working in IT more than 6 years. I bought new Camera from US through friend Bala. Thanks Bala).

Tomas Berdych won in straight sets (6-3, 6-3)

The Two old Warhorses Paes and Bhupathi Showcased their doubles skills and comfortable won against Marx and Skupski in direct sets (6-4, 7-6(3)).
