Re: Padel: Mix of Tennis & Sqaush - Now in India

Don't know much about the growth of padel in India but pickleball is definitely growing with India hosting some international tournaments and a couple of Indian players like Aarman Bhatia doing well.

Re: Tata Steel (Corus) Chess - Masters

I think Pragg vs Gukesh is going to be a rivalry for the future with Arjun also thrown into the mix. Similar to Kasparov-Karpov. Pragg and Gukesh are childhood friends. Hope this intense rivalry doesn't lead to a split in their friendship.

Re: India Davis Cup -2025

I think it is truly historic. I think after today SI forum should stop following tennis. We have sunk to such abysmal depths that beating Togo requires such huge celebrations. Wonder whether we'll ever climb about of this abyss. What a joke!!! Historic win indeed!!! In the old days we would face som...

Re: Gukesh D - 18th World Chess Champion

Gukesh plays Arjun today. Arjun who was having a horror of a tournament found form yesterday beating Nodirbek this clearing the path for Gukesh and Pragg. I have a feeling Gukesh and Arjun will play out a draw. So either Pragg wins by winning today or there is a tie-breaker between Pragg and Gukesh....

Re: India Davis Cup -2025

Is beating a Togo player such a big deal? To what level have we come down? For a team that used to beat the likes of France and Australia we are celebrating wins over Togo.

Re: Gukesh D - 18th World Chess Champion

Don't know if anyone if following the Tata Steel Chess tournament. Gukesh is leading a strong field with 6.5 points out of 9. Arjun unfortunately is having a disastrous tournament and will fall a lot in the World rankings. Gukesh will now become India no. 1 and possibly world no. 4. Even Caruana wil...

Re: ITF Series: W50 Delhi, W100 Bengaluru, W75 Pune, Jan 2025

I don't think India cares about doubles either. India simply doesn't care about tennis. We had a golden generation of Leander, Mahesh, Sania and Rohan who excelled at doubles because of their abilities. We don't have any successors. That is the true fact. Players who blindly try to emulate Leander o...
