Re: BWF tournaments Mar 2024

Yes, I also read chatter that Gayatri is more suitable for mixed doubles as she has good net game and not such strong back court game. In that case, she can probably look at having a good male partner and go for mixed doubles where we do not have any strong pair as of now and Tresa-Tanisha can pair ...

Re: BWF tournaments Mar 2024

Yes, at one point of time, I thought Tresa-Gayatri are at a stage now where Satwik-Chirag were at the Tokyo olympics i.e threatening the top teams but not quite there yet. But, in the last few weeks they have totally lost it. After Paris Olympics, our coached need to figure out if it would be better...

Srikanth lost 18-21 in third game in the SF against Taiwanese. So, that is it for us at Swiss open.

Re: BWF tournaments Mar 2024

Bad day for us at Swiss open with only Srikanth winning his match, Priyanshu and Kiran lost to higher ranked players. Most disappointing was Tresa- Gayatri loss to an Australian pair.

Their chances of Paris qualification are much lower now.

Re: WTT/WTT Youth Contender events

Good to see Sathiyan winning a title after a long time. If he gets back to form like Sharath our mens team has a chance to do well in Paris.

Lakshya Sen also lost in straight games, looks like efforts of last 2 weeks caught up with him, that is why I said he should taken a break this week and played next week. But, couple of very good wins by Srikanth over 10th ranked Zia Jie Lee and Kiran George over talented Frenchman. So, we have 3 In...

Re: BWF tournaments Mar 2024

Swiss Masters 300 Priyanshu had the best win over world #14, Srikanth and Kiran Gerorge had wins over slightly higher ranked players. Other wins were over lower ranked players/teams. Still a very satisfying day. So, we 4 in second round in mens singles- Lakshya, Srikanth, Priyanshu and Kiran Gerorg...
