[edit] 2006 Activity
[edit] Rotterdam Open, Rotterdam
Parmar lost in the 2nd qualifying round in Rotterdam only to be given a lucky loser spot. He went onto beat top 100 player Paradorn Srichaphan in the 1st round, 7–6(3) 5–7 7–6(7). In the 2nd round he beat Dominik Meffert who was the player who beat Parmar in the Qualifying round, 6–3 6–3. Parmar's good run ended in his Quarter Final match against Christophe Rochus losing in straight sets, 6–3 6–3.
[edit] Davis Cup Euro-Asia Group One, vs Serbia and Montenegro
As Andy Murray was injured and couldn't play in the 1st days play and Parmar took his place in the 1st rubber of the tie against Serbia and Montenegro against Novak Đoković and Parmar lost in straight sets 6–3, 6–2, 7–5.
Parmar also played in the last rubber as Serbia and Montenegro won the tie as Novak Đoković beat Greg Rusedski in the previous rubber so making the final rubber a dead-rubber as it gave Serbia & Montenegro an unassailable 3–1 lead. So therefore Andy Murray didn't play, Parmar did well despite the Davis Cup tie already over winning in straight sets over Ilija Bozoljac 7–5, 6–4.
