Yashina is very erratic and unstable with her temper. There’s no way Sahaja is not winning this.

Others like Darya Astakhova and Priska Nugroho are listed with PR entries but with low (or no) ranking as they haven't played for the whole year - and I also doubt if they will show up. Who knows... Thanks for manifesting that - Astakhova and Jakupovic withdrew, which allowed Zeel to get in the mai...

Finally, SRB broke her losing streak. Wins 6-4 6-1 against the tall Russian, Ekaterina Reyngold. Btw in doubles, yesterday the top seeded international team was ousted by Sravya Shivani and Smriti Bhasin. Big upset that virtually now enables an Indian team to reach the finals. Hoping Adkar/Yamalapal...

And now, Ankita withdraws

Having played 6 matches this week, she will be a candidate to get upset by somebody in India :) Perhaps you’re joking but this theory only applies to Indians, so if you’re serious don’t propagate that. Sofia was ranked as high as #2 in juniors, so I’m sure she’s used to playing long weeks back to b...

Anastasia Kulikova withdrew after all . Now, we have Ankita, SRB, Sahaja, Zeel, Vaishnavi in the direct MD acceptance list. If the Special exempt spots are not awarded, Riya and Tanisha will secure a direct entry too.

Ankita/Kulambayeva beat Hartono/Prarthana in 3 sets in the first round here. They play Brits Burrage/F Christie in the QF.

Entry list for Solpaur has changed quite a bit since as many as 5 players have withdrawn from the main draw list. Fangran Tian is the highest ranked UTR player but she hasn't played since July due to injury and just got back to pro-tennis last week at the AO Asia Pacific wildcard playoff to play in ...

Tanisha kind of disappeared after winning her first pro-title but she is back this week playing at the W15 Stellenbosch tournament in South Africa. Seeded 6th in the singles draw, she will open her title conquest against an ITF-793 ranked Vivien Sandberg. Earlier, Tanisha, partnering Elena Jamshidi ...

^^^ This result was pretty obvious given that SRB is in a rut with a mere 1 win in her last 5 tournaments, whereas Hesse had upset #178 Korpatsch who finished last season in the top-100, just last month. A 31-year-old Hesse, who is also a mother of a 2-year-old daughter, has played and won more matc...

^^^ Yeah but Hesse will win this match.

Niki should find a new partner for next year.

Rutuja withdrew.

Kulikova will be a dangerous floater in this tournament.

Week of Dec 9th - W35 Solapur: Main Draw: Ekaterina Makarova (213) Sofia Costoulas (BEL,291) Ankita Raina (299) Shrivalli Rashmikaa Bhamidipaty (301) Sahaja Yamalapalli (307) Naho Sato (JPN, 330) Zhibek Kulambayeva (KAZ,334) Tiantsoa Sarah Rakotomanga Rajaonah (FRA, 344) Anastasia Kulikova (FIN, 356...
