Slow and Steady Wins the Match: Silpi the New Sun

Poornam: (2007-06-19) Amazing, simply amazing, Silpi won the first round having beaten the second seed Ajin by 2-1. It was all about patience and accuracy and consistency is the name of the game.

On the second day of Cup of Life 2007, Ajin was beaten by Silpi. At the start of the match, it was Silpi who surprised the runner up of last cup of life series. Ajin, who expected a cool move to second round had really struggled to play on his usuall pace.

Silpi with his out standing patience, took the control over the match except for the second set where Ajin won. “It’s my first match, it’s very, very cool,” Silpi said. “I played a great match today. It’s amazing I’m very happy.”

In the second round he will meet either Lal or Tharun.

On his assessment on match Sojish, a veteran player said ” “I think Silpi played really, really well, In the second set I thought Ajin was about to make a come back.”

“Ajin would not have played in Silpi’s slow pace. He should have played his usual game.” He added.

However it’s just a note to the top seeded guys, “You have a real opponent with ultimate patience”
