Actually they had livestream from Mysuru for the men's M25 last year or the year before, if I remember correctly...

^^^ My typing is atrocious these days. My laptop has a faulty keyboard, which adds to the problem

Prathyusha went down in the Q2 to the 4th seed Solymar Colling (USA,1023), 16 26. So only Sahaja and Rutuja are in the main draw at Bakersfield.

Yeah, Makenna Jones is a top-250 caliber player if she is back to her form last year. She was away for a whole year though. She was not challenged by the hapless local wildcard she faced, so we don't know in what form she is.

Sahaja was in a bit of a dogfight in the first set, vs Lily Fairclough, a top-65 junior last year, who has finished one year in college at the Univ of Southern California. Lily played well, wrong-footing Sahaja a few times with some shots down the line. Sahaja was not plying badly and really seemed ...

^^ Okay. Got it. I actually did wonder if you meant that, but didn't think you would be so dismissive of the other bandwagon so soon. I would argue that the other bandwagon is also not following a chimera. Unless Sanjay thought the bandwagon was surely proceeding to the promised land of top-50 tenni...

Two W15s in India, at Myrsuru and Bengaluru this week and the next. India #3 Shrivalli playing it is the surprise for everybody. I guess she is in India now, so why not pick up some points?

7 of the 8 qualifiers are Indians. See the Qualifying draw/results from ITF

Rishabdev Raman (IND,NR) got another upset, this time on the 7th seed Vasilios Caripi (RSA,ITF-1146), 76(5) 64, to make the main draw. Top seed Maan Kesharwani (IND,1850) beat Filippo Callerio (ITA,2274) in an STB to make the main draw too. Ritabrata, Shourya and Kiruthik were unable to upset the 2n...

^^^ Maybe not a chimera, Atithee. He is playing positive tennis again now. Yeah, one never knows how long it will last. But three top-350 wins in just over a week's time. Not bad at all.

3rd set started alarmingly and got broken , but curbed those DF’s and started hitting the ball harder which won him matches in Shanghai , and broke the Ukrainian twice to keep the lead and close out the match. The key is right there. I have been asking for two years or more, and we are finally gett...

Great news to which to wake up early! Three wins in the last 9 days, against #139, #351, and #316. When have we seen that many top-350 wins in two weeks from RamK last? Quite a long time ago. Maybe 2 or 3 years actually. I think he is in his best form in a long time. Nice to see that. He should keep...
