Qualifying draw is out-

[Q1] Yuki Bhambri (IND,624) vs. Altug Celigbilek (TUR,183)

[Q1] Ramkumar Ramanathan (IND,178) vs. (9) Yannik Hanfmann (GER,114)

[Q1] Sumit Nagal (IND,348) vs Pedro Cachin (ARG,152)

Tough matches all against players ranked inside top 200.

I think Srikanth and Satwik-Chirag are stars of this showing for us. Srikanth won 6 out of 6 matches, of which last 2 were against higher ranked players and almost all of them in crunch matches. Satwik-Chirag won 5 out of their 6 matches and their last 3 wins were against teams from Malaysia, Denmar...

Yes and Srikanth wins it for us for us 21-15 23-21.

And Satwiik-Chirag come back saving 4 matchpoints in second game to win in 3 games against mighty Indonesian doubles team.

They win 18-21 23-21 21-19 to take us to a 2-0 lead.

Srikanth against Jonathan Christie now. Can he seal the deal here ?

Both Arjun and Mukund make it to second qualifying round this week. At ShymKent 2 Challenger 80, Kazakhstan [Q1] (8) Arjun Kadhe (IND,416) d.

And Lakshya delivers when it matters.

He got thrashed 8-21 in first game but came back strongly to take the next 2, 21-17 21-16.

We are up 1-0.

So, it is confirmed that Chennai will host a WTA 250 tournament from September 26 to October 2- Chennai returns to international tennis map with 2022 WTA 250 tour From 2003 to 2007, a WTA tournament was held in Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Good to see the event returning to India after 15 years at anoth...

Manas is making his pro tour debut today as he has got wild card into qualies draw at Francavilla Challenger. Looks like premature for a 14 year old to play challenger qualifiers when he is struggling to win matches at higher level of junior tour but that is what these European academies do to playe...

Yes, of course he should play it. What we are saying is if he had played at least a couple of matches on singles on clay, he would have had a better chance to convert that €10k to €16K and maybe more by winning matches in qualies.

Korea upset mighty China in the final ( and Japan in SF) to win Uber Cup. Hope we see another upset in Thomas cup final which starts in couple of hours time. I thought we had no chance against Indonesia. But, looking at head to head, we are actually ahead in 3 of the 5 matches - Lakshya, Satwik-Chir...

VSP and Anirudh lost in semi final. At Zagreb ATP Challenger 80, Croatia (Red Clay) [SF] N. Vijay Sunder Prashanth (IND) / Anirudh Chandrashekhar (IND) l. Domagoj Biljesko (CRO) / Andrey Chepelev (RUS) 62 36 10-12 Both of them will make it top 400 now and will be able to get into some challenger mai...

Doubles Entry list is out.... And as feared, RamK didn't make it in directly as his partner for the event, Sander Arends, currently has a doubles ranking of 101.... On the bright side, they are #1 in the ALT list and will most probably make it in.... Combined ranking for RamK and Arends for entry l...

True, if he had played singles at 1-2 of those futures and/or Bangalore Challengers, he would have got his ranking around or inside top 500 which would have got him into qualifying draws of all the challengers that he wanted to play in. But, probably he does not want to play on clay challengers much...

Thanks Sufyan for that analysis. I think final is on Sunday. So, gives one more day for Prannoy to recover.

Superb performance.

Srikanth and Prannoy have been stars so far winning 5 out 5 matches and Satsik-Chirag have delivered when it materred most in last 2 matches.
