Re: Coronavirus SARS-Cov2 (COVID-19)

... Now I am saying test, test test! We will do the praying; the Government should be doing their work. Where is the ICMR circular asking everybody to test by the boatloads, damnit? Many countries do as many tests a day as we have done in the last 10 days... they need to move very fast on this.

Take a good care of yourself. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Re: Grass tournaments (Challengers & ATP/WTA tour) 2019

RamK has to learn to play match point differently than other points, like so many have done. This used to be a problem with many indian players, and I thought it was getting better. But then, I watched the Fed blow two MPs on his serve yesterday too. :D Prof Just curious, how should the match point...

Re: French Open 2019

Cori Gauff is NOT a winnable match for Ankita. .. After losing set 1, a better strategy would have been for Ankita to mix things up, draw Gauff to the net, pass and lob, and mix up with transitions to the net at least once a game. Prof right on the mark Prof... building those dimensions in your gam...

Re: Indian tennis pro injury/layoff update page

I thought it would be useful to have a separate page like this. Sania has posted a video on Instagram of her practising the serve — and it is looking pretty good. She also tweeted how good this feels. On Yuki’s Facebook page, there are numerous videos of him doing some very strenuous, high-stress g...

Re: Indian Wells/Miami ATP 1000, March 2019

THE GUNNER HAS ARRIVED. BIG TIME. As the match progressed, I started getting this feeling of Déjà Vu - where have I seen this before. This calm bearing, good/great anticipation on shots, never say die. And then it struck me - Ramanathan Krishnan ... THis is such a great breakthrough for Indian Tenn...

Re: Indian Wells/Miami ATP 1000, March 2019

Woo hoo! I forced myself to stay awake until 5-5 in the first set and wish I had been able to stay up for longer after seeing the result this morning. Loved how our man played. The ball stays well and truly hit when he hits it. It was blowing a gale so I was impressed how he handled the conditions....

Siddhant Banthia helps Wake Forest get to the finals of the ITA D1 National Team Indoor Championship match. Wake Forest lost to Ohio State in the final by a 4-2 decision. 2 points for Wake Forest came from wins at #3 singles and at #6 Singles (Siddhant Banthia). https://godeacs.com/news/2019/2/18/me...

Re: Tennis Asian Games 2018, Indonesia - Jakarta Palembang 2018

Agree whole-heartedly with your sentiments, Jay and the essence. No two players are the same, in their games and the mental make-up. Each one faced circumstances that are unique to them (which shaped their games and mental make-up but brought them to a level so that they can earn the honor to repres...

Re: Tennis Asian Games 2018, Indonesia - Jakarta Palembang 2018

I don't think LP was serious about playing the Asian Games. He was sighted at the practice courts in Cincy as late as Tuesday (08/14) afternoon. Most likely he tried to get into the draw but probably couldn't manage. I think he's just trying to come up with a reason (however far-fetched it may seem)...
