Weird collusion to let a Chinese runner win . The African runners should be suspended and if the Chinese runner was also complicit, he should be banned. For a while. This is no different than match fixing. Why did the African runners wave the Chinese to win? This looks bizarre. Absolutely. They sho...

Sumit had to send an urgent request for help to the UK High commission in Delhi for a visa appointment, to be able to go to Wimbledon, and he got the High Commissioner to respond quickly. She also commented below his tweet, "glad to help, but I may feel differently if you beat a British uy in t...

So, Kanak Jha served his 12 month suspension and is now considered clean, as far as spinach is concerned? Yes, the suspension was for 12 months from Dec'22 to Dec'23 for missing three tests. Then, when he was provisionally suspended, he participated in some activities which are not allowed when you...

^^^ "Really don't mind if you sit this one out. My words but a whisper your deafness a SHOUT. I may make you feel but I can't make you think. Your sperm's in the gutter your love's in the sink. So you ride yourselves over the fields and you make all your animal deals and your wise men don't kno...

^^^ Very interesting article... Thanks.

That was a nice run for Arjun and Jeevan, beatin the first and 2nd seeds to take the title. Arjun is 102 in live rankings now, very close to his career high at #98

^^^ No there were no RB or SM pages at the old TennisIndia... We were going great here by then and I got lazy.

India --------------- 3-2 (8-7)
New Zealand ----- 3-2 (7-8)
Chinese Taipei --- 1-4 (5-9)

We are not going down that easily... Comeback from 1-5 to 4-5 with 2 breaks and serving. Wow, some spirited tennis suddenly from us. We saved 3 or 4 match pts earlier (which were playoff points for Korea too, as they anxiously wait for us to lose) At 5-6, we saved 2 more match pts from 15-40 and fin...

It is all over guys. Ankita has nothing left. Thank you, Ms. Shalini Thakur. I cannot believe Ankita herself would be so foolish and do this to the country. 16 13 in doubles. China is not tanking. They are shellacking Korea 60 30 in doubles. But Korea will advance thanks to Shalini/Ankita foolishnes...

Korea took a singles match in a surprise, and are at 1-1 against China. If they beat China in doubles, they advance even if we win the doubles (on a 3-way tie among CHN, KOR, IND with 4-1 records)

^^^ There isn't. You cannot candy this up, to use the old Texas phrase. It is a disgrace how Ankita and Shalini have screwed this up. We should be so easily advancing, considering the great form Rutuja and Prarthana are in. Instead, we may not. Let us just pray that Ankita can somehow muster up some...

Ankita vs Lulu. If this tie goes to the doubles rubber, beating Erin Routliffe is not going to be an easy task. The mindless idiocy continues. Ankita down 2 breaks at 1-5. Don't we have any brain cells at all? I cannot believe that we have Shalini Thakur as the captain and she does not have the aut...

What was the score of the Rutu match? I had to step away when she got broken at 62 44 and it looked like she was letting it slip.

EDIT: Okay... 62 76(5)... Wow, nice comeback at the end, Rutuja!!

Looks like the games are moved indoors? The link Sameer posted now takes us to an indoor court.
