No problem, and thanks for all your work, Dhruv. I assume a software change will be much more time-consuming for you, and would be better to avoid unless really needed... This forum has been fully sufficient for our purposes, and I also like how it is "light" in its feel. Maybe because it ...

Zeel plays Vaishnavi tomorrow in the R2 so we are assured of a QF there. I am calling a Vaishnavi upset, on current form, unless Zeel has got her moxie back after today's comeback win. I called it right. And it was probably the easiest call we could ever make on an upset of a 4th seed. Zeel has bee...

Karan will go past Rishab, SDPD and Sid V in ranking and will become the India #4 in live rankings behind Sumi, RamK and Mukund. That is terrific for a 20 year old, and great for us to see, knowing that those three are 26 and older now. His actual ranking will move up only by May 20th (as this week'...

Sahaja lost in a match where she could not stop making mistakes all the time... She went 2 of 13 at BPs she had, and allowed Fanni to convert 6 of 8 ... That is 4 of 21 success rate at breakpoints. That will cause a scoreline like she had in the R1... I counted at least 7 or 8 BPs that were wasted w...

[Q2] (5) Shrivalli Rashmikaa Bhamidipaty (IND,428) l. (15) Victoria Osuigwe (USA,697), 46 46 That 17 year old Victoria is very talented. There were a few breaks by both, but Shrivalli could not get the job done in the end in both sets. She was not playing as poorly as last week, and seemed to be han...

No issues today for Sahaja. She was making fewer mistakes than normal, and the surface seemed to be even in bounce and all that. She still made a few of the "too much aggression" mistakes she makes when she has time to think, like on overheads and volleys at the net when she has the whole ...

So, no Malayali? Okay, no soup for you, India

Hey, the Malayali is in the team? Okay, we will win this damn thing, then?

The last time we won we had Mr. Daridravasi with us (and he took the final catch too, iirc). Let's go then!!!

Karan Singh (IND,696) is the 4th seed at the Monastir M15 this week. He plays a qualifier Jae Hwan Kim (KOR,1865) in the first round.

Ankita is playing doubles with Snehal Mane this week, which surprised me. They just won the first round at the Lopota W50, Christine Gouws (RSA) and Georgia Kalamaris (FRA) in a dominating fashion too, 61 61. Actually Ankita and Snehal had played doubles together once, over 4 years ago at the Jodhpu...

This week at the Monastir W15 (hard), #783 Vaishnavi beat Le Yi Liu (CHN,986), 76(3) 61 and 4th seed #585 Zeel beat a Merna Rafat (EGY,858), 16 75 61 n a ice comeback in the R1 today. Zeel plays Vaishnavi tomorrow in the R2 so we are assured of a QF there. I am calling a Vaishnavi upset, on current ...

#783 Vaishnavi Adkar and #585 Zeel Desai are at Monastir. Last week at the Monastir W15 first round, 19 year old Vaishnavi had won won round with a good 16 62 63 upset of veteran Shiho Akita (JPN,601) who was a top-250 player once, but fell in the R2 against Gyeong Seo Lee (KOR,795), 57 64 46... Gye...

[Q2] (8) Rutuja Bhosale (IND,364) l. (13) Thasaporn Naklo (THA,397), 64 46 26

This was a bad loss, even money-wise, this being a W100 event.

I don't have a list or anything and did not even know that Sports Management was a topic at many Indian Universities... But here is one I came across... only because I saw upcoming junior tennis player Dev Jhavia as one student who gave compliments to them LJ Institute of Sports Management, Ahmedaba...
