Re: FIDE Candidates 2024
Congrats to Gukesh. We are a true global powerhouse of Chess now. I remember how much of a struggle it was for Manuel Aaron, and a slow stream of others, to gain the International Master designation. Only in 1988 did we have our first Indian Grandmaster, Vishy Anand, followed three years later by Di...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Yashaswi Jaiswal calmed some nerves with a fine 104* off 60 balls against the hapless Pandya-led MI. The latter is in terrible form with bat, ball and as captain. The move from GT to MI was a disaster for him, and he surely doesn't merit a place in the squad for the T20 World Cup on current form. Th...

Re: Manas Dhamne thread
[R1] Q- Manas Dhamne (IND, 1342) d. Maximilian Figl (ITA, 1471) 62 36 75 A typical claycourt humdinger lasting 3 hours and 21 minutes. Manas was down a break in the final set, then came back to take a 5-4 lead, had 6 MPs on his opponent's next two service games, and eventually won on the 7th one. He...

Re: Saurav Ghoshal thread - PB WR # 10 in Apr 2019
Yes, it seemed inevitable although he was still playing very well. His father hinted at it when I ran into him a couple of months ago. Undoubtedly India's greatest male squash player to-date.

Re: Ankita Raina thread
Ankita is in complete meltdown since her wedding, sadly. She needs to regroup, take a bit of time off and come back stronger.

Re: Roland Garros Claycourt Run-Up Tournaments 2024
Sumit-Yuki wouldn't be an ideal pairing, as neither of them has a particularly strong serve. I would say the potential pairings are RB-Yuki (strongest), RB-Sumit, RB-RamK, RB-Balaji. If RB choses to pair with Yuki, other doubles pairings would be RamK-Sumit (potentially quite good, complementing Sum...

Re: Roland Garros Claycourt Run-Up Tournaments 2024
Yuki Bhambri (partnering Albano Olivetti) got a good win in R1 of the Bavarian International (ATP250 in Munich), beating the champions of the Monte Carlo Masters last week, and finalists at last year's French Open, Vliegen/Gille (both Belgians).

Re: Leander Paes thread...
Leander Paes keeps getting better at golf. I see him often on the course when I am in Kolkata (approximately once a month). Last week, he won the monthly Silver Salver tournament at Tollygunge Club with the best gross score. (He didn't win the net score award, which was won by a 15-handicap golfer; ...

Re: WTA Tour/Non-India Fed Cup
Sabalenka's ex -boy friend, Konstantin Kolstov, appears to have either committed suicide or died accidentally (jumped off a hotel balcony when drunk). The initial reports said he was her boyfriend, but she herself tweeted that they "were no longer together". Kolstov wasn't staying with her...

Re: ITF M25/M15 New Delhi, Chandigarh - Mar 2024
Really nice to see so many Indian youngsters (fresh ones particularly) coming through this week in Chandigarh. Humdinger going on between 20 year old Chirag Duhan and India #2 Ramkumar Ramanathan: [QF] 2- Ramkumar Ramanathan (IND, 351) d. Chirag Duhan (IND, 1297) 46 62 64 It is currently on serve, 4...
