^^^ FRI/SAT for two rounds each. Or possibly the SF and F on Sunday. Tough, but there will be some withdrawals and all that (mostly from doubles) and it will get done :) ... If it rains for one more day, they will have to cancel the event altogether. Since the next week event is also at the same ...

^^^ The trip to Santa Domingo for two weeks did not help. Sahaja is in a slump right now. She has no physical ailments or anything, and she can seemingly still play good stretches of tennis, as we saw for a few games inn the second match at the BJK cup before the cramp, but she seems to show a ...

After a few months on the Indian circuit, Riya Bhatia (IND,634) has gone to Europe. At the W75 in Calvi, France (Hard)... She was the 7th seed in the qualies with a Q1 bye, but had lost cheaply, 36 06 to 12th seed Jana Otzipka (BEL,902) in the Q2.

She made it in as a lucky loser today though, as ...

Vaishnavi was in the Indian circuit for the last 4 months, and her results were covered in various tournament threads...

She is at the W15 in Antalya, Turkey (Clay) this week.

[R1] (6) Vaishnavi Adkar (IND,631) d. (SE) Gaia Maduzzi (ITA,1200), 76(5) 46 60
[R2] (6) Vaishnavi Adkar (IND,631) l ...

^^^ Come on, let us not make fun of him for coming back. I am certainly glad that Billi decided not to wait as long as he initially said, to come back.

Saying that he was going away in a fit of anger or annoyance was a mistake. But to change one's mind after that despite knowing that he might take ...

In the main draw at ITF W25 Santa Margherita di Paula -2, Italy (clay),

[R1] (Q) Manas Dhamne (IND,775) vs Raul Brancaccio (ITA,402)

This will be a very tough match. 27 yr old Brancaccio was ranked #121 two years ago, and has been playing well in his last four M25 and M15 events, with two finals ...

Another upset by Adil to qualify in and make the main draw. Good job!

[Q2] Adil Kalyanpur (IND,909) d. (11) Dragos Nicolae Cazacu (ROM,836), 63 64

At the ITF M25 in Santa Margherita di Paula, Italy (Clay), Manas qualified into the main draw with another walk-in-the-park win. Qualifiers are yet to be placed in the main draw, to know whom he is playing in the R1. Two wins in the main draw would allow Manas to avoid two qualifying rounds at the ...

In that fictitious world where the smoker just harms himself, I agree with you. Unless you change the U.S. health system, I would support putting tariffs to snuff out this nuisance where you and I are paying for these folks. Or to reduce it to the extent we can.

I agree with you about tariffs on ...

Why man? Money is not all that matters. It may collapse, it might not. Who knows? Let us follow Hockey and Tennis

And Mohun Bagan (or ATK or SuperGiant or whatever silly name they use) won the title, beating FC Bengaluru on an extra time goal in the 96th minute, 2-1... Bengaluru's one goal was an on-goal by Bagan too.

Ankita-Prarthana were up 2-0 on Sohyun Park and Dabin Kim, bit got broken back in the 4th game. From 3-4 on serve oward, our pair made several great shots and very few mistakes... Took the set after a couple of beautiful BH kills at the net by PT. Ankita also hit some good volleys at the net and cut ...

Sahaja was down 0-3 against Dayeon Back, after long games, broken in the second game. Lots of long rallies with Dayeon not making any mistakes and Sahaja a bit error-prone. Sahaja broke back in the 5th game and evened it at 3-3. At 3-4, 15-15, she served a DF, and followed it with at least 4 errors ...

Tremendous win by Shrivalli again!! Beats #305 Sohyun Park, 57 63 76(5) ... India leads Korea 1-0 !!!

I got up only by the time the final TB was on. She went up one minibreak to 5-2 in the final tiebreaker, and served for one MP at 5-4. She lost a 16 shot rally winner by an inch there, but put in a ...

Good to see you back, @HockeyWithBillie!
