Description

Rajeef Ram, a Carmel, Indiana native, autographed this tennis ball when competing in the Indianapolis Tennis Championships.


On July 10, 2009, Ram accomplished the unusual feat of winning four professional-level tennis matches in one day. At the Campbell's Hall of Fame Tennis Championships in Rhode Island, the tournament had been rained out early in the week, pushing back many scheduled matches.


On July 10, Ram (a lucky loser who had withdrawn from his final qualifying match due to injury) advanced to the singles semi-finals with wins over Samuel Groth and Jesse Levine and then partnered with Jordan Kerr to advance to the doubles semi-finals with wins over Arnaud Clément/Olivier Rochus and Nicolas Mahut/Fabrice Santoro. Mahut, Santoro, and Rochus each played three matches that day, though none of them won all their matches.  Ram then went on to beat Rochus and world #39 Sam Querrey on consecutive days to capture his first ATP title. He also captured the doubles title, thus doubling up at the event.
