...young, sandaled Bohemian, he was appalled at the tyrannical influence of the German professors who, he snorted, "couldn't even speak Hungarian." Determined to develop "the natural mother tongue of every Hungarian composer," he teamed with another ardent nationalist, Bela Bartók, and armed with primitive Edison recording machines, roamed the Magyar countryside and collected 12,000 folk songs...

That expectation reckoned without Ramanathan Krishnan, 29. Krishnan won one singles match from Mandarine, teamed with Jaideep Mukherjea to take the doubles, and wrapped it up in a marathon match against Koch 3-6, 6-4, 10-12, 7-5, 6-2.
