Busan, Oct 02: India's men and women teams made a
mockery of their first round opponents to register facile
straight set victories in the tennis team events of the 14th
Asian Games.
While the men's team spanked debutants east Timor 3-0 in
a totally lop sided contest to romp into the quarter-finals,
the women's team also had an easy outing thrashing lowly
Mongolia by an identical margin to march into the last eight.
Star player Leander Paes, who brushed aside a slight
ankle injury to take the court, gave India a rousing start by
whipping Matias De Souza with an effortless 6-0 6-0 verdict
in a match which lasted just a little over 40 minutes to give
India the lead.
Rohan Bopanna, who played the second singles, also did
not have to sweat much as he demolished Antonio Mendes 6-0 6-0
to give India an invincible 2-0 lead.
