Any news on what's up with Sumit? Can't find anything online about his return.

[SF] 3-Ramkumar Ramanathan/Saketh Myneni (IND/IND) d. M. Polmans/J. Clarke (AUS/GBR) 64 64

Straight set victory take Ram/Saketh to the finals.
RamK's impressive run in doubles continues.

It's over. 3-6 2-6 loss. And our challenge in singles come to end.
With upset of Karatsev Yuki had very good chance to go deep, but alas it will not happen.

And Yuki gets broken in the very first service game in second set. It could be over soon

Bops and Sania lose in their respective 1R matches in doubles. So we are still to get a victory in MD.
Now Indian challenge is left only in mixed doubles.
Sania is paired with defending champ Rajiv Ram, so more hopes on her.

Was it necessary for Yuki to use his PR? I think this event surely he can count for WC. Or am I missing some point here?

Wow, first time india clocks doible digit in medal tally. Need some golds to move up the medals table. Still many days to go. Hope we finish in top 20.

What a feat by Sumit Antil. He broke WR thrice at a single event.

His story is a good read:

Today turns out to be best day in history of Paraolympics for India. Already won 2 golds, 2 silvers and 1 bronze. Entire tally of 2016 crossed in a single day. Medal Name Sport Event --------- ----------------------- ----------- ------------------------------------- Gold Avani Lekhara Shooting Women...

Great show by Aditi to manage to stick in top-3. Surprisingly Nelly Korda also was off than her usual, had same score as Aditi for the day. So if Varun dev showers blessings on us tomorrow, the medal is assured. :-) EDIT: Realized after posting that it was not over. Nevertheless, it turned even bett...

Interesting:
San Marino had only 5 players participating in 4 sports and they got 3 medals (1 silver, 2 Bronze).

Superb to see Aditi finishing T2 after day 2. Just hope she doesn't falter like Rio this time. In Rio she was T7 on day1, T8 on day2 but finished 41. She is doing much better this time, hope she finishes on high note. A medal would be ecstatic but would be happy if finishes in top-5 (even top-10) :g...

India wins. Four decade long wait is over.

4 losses?

When both men and women teams entered Semis, it meant we'll get 4 matches to play if we lose both semis. A loss in all 4 means we'll return without medal.

India women lose 1-2 in semis. I just pray the prediction of all 4 losses doesn't come true
