Beating an Argentine on clay?

Nice list. Can add a few to this. 1985- World Championship of Cricket win 1971- the twin test triumphs in West Indies and England 1960- Krishnan reached Wimbledon semis 1999- Lee-Hesh win 2 Slams and reach finals of all 4 1966 and 74 Davis Cup finals 1980 and 2001 All England wins of Prakash and Gop...

I think Lakshya Sen's rise made a big difference. He playing first singles meant Srikanth and Prannoy faced relatively easier opponents. Just shows our depth in singles. Of course I am taking nothing away from them. A 100% record is simply amazing.

And SatChi win after being a game down. Wow!!!! Are we on the verge of history being created?

Axelsen will beat Lakshya Sen. Antonsen will beat Srikanth and our 2nd doubles pair would lose anyway. Need at least 2 upsets if we have to win this. Thomas Cup by the way is one where India has finished in the top 3 thrice in the past. In the early days the Thomas Cup used to have a Challenge Round...

Puts hockey Olympics qualification in jeopardy.

Hope Ram-Bham can become the next Lee-Hesh

Lee was a special talent. We can't compare the current crop with him. And Lee-Hesh in doubles was how great doubles combinations should play. And they had some strong rivals in the Aussies, Swedes and so on. Again can't compare their doubles with the current lot.

Something more on the Fed-Rafa rivalry and 2 dream match ups

We were doing a quiz and trying to identify the number of actors in the 83 movie with sporting connections. The number came to 11.

Also Viv Richards was played by a first class cricketer Jacques Taylor. And his ex-girlfirend played Kapil's mother.

We have so many players, male and female for whom we run threads. None of them are able to make an impact at the ATP/ WTA level. And here is a semi-retired player who still continues to make waves on the WTA doubles circuit. Wonder when we shall get out next Sania.
