Re: Ankita Raina thread
Time for Ankita to focus on doubles. There is really no point in playing singles, unless things improve fairly quickly, like in a month or two. If not, quit and save your body for 3-4 (or more) years of good doubles.

Re: Indian Athletics Thread ...
By the way, any news on Shaili Singh? Has she been improving? Sometime back, maybe a hear or more ago, I had said that she needed to get a better coach than the unproven Bobby George and that I would be happy if Bobby made me eat crow. Is she getting better, and should I look for crow? (Has she qual...

Re: Indian Athletics Thread ...
I certainly celebrate top-8 at Olympics. In fact, I was keeping a count of the number of top-8 finishes at the last few Olympics, as it is a better measure of overall improvement in sports for India.

Re: Manas Dhamne thread
His drop shots amazed me the most! Perhaps more so because I have not seen many Indians do it well enough on the circuit. Same here. "Not many" is quite gracious. In fact, no other Indian hits drop shots well at all. Manas is the only one I have seen doing it well consistently. Amazing. H...

Re: Manas Dhamne thread
Manas is up 63 33... And he wins it in a match-tiebreaker, after getting broken in the 7th game of the second set.
[Q2] Manas Dhamne (IND,1344) d. (1) Luigi Sorrentino (ITA,860), 46 64 [10-8]

Re: Ramkumar Ramanathan thread
I am sure the ankle issue will go away. Off court niggles like slipping on a staircase etc cause only simpler damage and usually nothing of longer-term effect. I am surprised it has taken a week now to go away, but it should go away. But many parts of his game looked better, to me, than they did las...

Re: Ramkumar Ramanathan thread
^^ Forgot to mention above that his double-fisted backhand down the line shot made a rare appearance today. In fact he forced his break point at 3-4 in the second set with that shot. Was great to see. Actually he had hit a really good one-handed backhand before that too, and he was quite successful ...

Re: Indian Archery Thread ...
If we get the 2036 Olympics, I am sure we will have it there. But by then everybody else will be much better and we may not be the odds-on favorites anymore

Re: Sumit Nagal thread
A nice interview by Nikhil Naz that just came up a few hours ago. I loved it. It seems to be from this week, after he decided to skip the next couple of weeks. He did not say he was going to Germany, but he was still waiting for the passport to come from the UK embassy/HC but said "maybe Rome; ...

Re: [Tennis] Misc. Results for Indians abroad...
^^ He must have been injured. So I was wondering if his physique had improved. He always looked like he could put on another 5 kg and get a little stronger. But there was this below picture from ITD last week, which seems to show that he has become more muscular... Hopefully the legs have got strong...

Karan Singh now goes to Monastir for the next few weeks. Not sure where others are going... Not too many places to play at now.
