They play another American pair next. [QF] Yuki Bhambri (IND) / Mathew Ebden (AUS) vs. Christian Harrison (USA) / Dennis ...

Watching Yuki and Ebden play their R1 doubles. They were an early break down but broke back when their opponents were serving for the set at 5-4. And then won the tie break 7-5 to take the first set.

Yes, that hockey medal is close to our heart and will be extremely happy if we get it. But, will be so elated too if we get our first athletics medal. I am surprised on what basis they have 2 projected golds for Bajrang and Vinesh. In mens 65 kgs, as of now feel Rashidov from Russia is the favortie ...

It is not on any of the sports channels in India. It seems the tennistv has taken up the rights for showing ATP tournaments in India. So, I think it is on their youtube stream. Not sure if it it free though. Otherwise, it will be there on usual betting sites.

Someone on twitter has given the break-up of their projections- Golds (4) - 2 in shooting - 1 in 10M Air rifle women ( Apurvi or Elanevil) and 1 in pistol mixed team, 2 in wrestling - Bajrang and Vinesh Silver (5) - 3 in shooting - 1 each in 10M Air pistol men and women, 1 in rifle mixed team, 1 in ...

Entire Indian team has assemebled in Latvia 2-3 days back as Sania-Ankita came from Dubai, Karman from Germany and others from India.

This is the latest-

Billie Jean King Cup: Latvia rolls out slow, low indoor hard courts for India

It looks slow indoor courts but stll better than clay.

Sumit has made it thru to qualies draw of Barelona ATP 500 in the same week. So, he won't be playing in Belgrade.

Purav and Triston lost in first round in this week's Split challenger.

At Split 2 Challenger, Croatia (Clay)

[R1] (4) Purav Raja (IND) / Tristan-Samuel Weissborn (AUT) l. Szymon Walkow (POL) / Jan Zielinski (POL) 36 46

This looks too high. I will be extremely happy if we reach 10 or even 8 considering how we fared last time.

Have they given the sportwise break-up ?

True, this is good for him. In the current scenerio of lower number of challengers mainy in Europe, he would have struggled to make even qualifying draws at challenger level. So, better to play here rather than going from place to place in Europe waiting to see if he making it in or play at some fut...

Unfortunate that these tournaments are cancelled. Just the other day I said that these tournaments are so good for our players coming at this time as they also ramped up WTA points for 25K tournaments. But, expected it coming after this covid surge. Hope they can hold it later when this covid wave c...

That fact that he lost in early in most of those weeks made it easy for him and he does not have to travel anywhere. All in just 1 place. Still, he would have found it difficult if he had gone deep each weeks as his ranking warrented. Now, he continues for ninth consecutive but in a different city (...

Certainly he underperformed in the final. But,he was playing 8th consecutive week here and underperformed even more badly in the earlier weeks.

So, we were relived that he is back to some kind of decent form again.
