Thomas and Uber cup begins tomorrow in Chengdu, China. As put in some other thread I think we are playing our best team in thomas cup trying to defend our title but for uber up we are playing without Sindhu and our top 2 doubles teams.

We play Thailand in Thomas cup and Canada in Uber cup.

^^^ Digivijay has been injured and has not played since last October. Hope he is getting better and is waiting for his protected ranking to kick in before starting again on pro tour. Manish has totally lost after a start where he looks like our next top 250-300 level player at least a few year back ...

First world cup of the year is currently ongoing at Shanghai. As usual our compound archers are doing well. They have reached 3 finals- Mens team, Womens team and Mixed team and Jyoti Surekha Vennam and Priyansh have reached individual semi finals. But, good news from recurve side is Deepika Kumar w...

I think Dev Javia was injured for more than a year or so. Now he is showing again that he has talent and can mostly go to top 600 level in some time if stays fit. Once he reaches there, we will see if he has it in him to go further.

This has to be some injury issue if he is going to miss 3 more weeks as he stated in that article on Times of India. Nobody in his right mind would miss a chance to play Rome masters where he would be a high seed in qualies and miss out on all the money and instead does training right there in Germa...

Not much success at all for our juniors at J300 in Kitching, Malyasia. 3 Indian boys- Rethin, Krish Tyagi and Kadhavel Mahaligam went to second round in boys singles. Than, 8th seed Rethin got upset in second round , Kadhavel too lost, 11th seed Kriish Tyagi went to third round but lost there to 6th...

One sided loss for Sahaja. At W75 in Charlottesville, USA [R1] Sahaja Yamalapalli (IND,309) l. (1) Kayla Day (USA,84) 26 06 This green clay look so tough to adapt too. Hope Sahaja and Shrivalli get used to it soon. Next week, Sahaja is 3 out from main draw at W100 in Bonita Springs and Shrivalli is ...

Deepak Punia would have qualified if not for the Dubai desert floods. We still have the last qualification tournament at Istanbul from May9th, don't we stand any chance of qualifying 1 or 2 men there? The same set of wrestlers seem to be going to Istanbul. I would not say Deepak would have surely q...

Rutuja wins first round in both singles and doubles. At the W50 in Wuning, China (Hard), [R1] Rutuja Bhosale (IND,364) d. (WC) Chenting Zhu (CHN,1330) 60 62 In doubles, [R1] (4) Rutuja Bhosale (IND)/ Paige Hourigan (NZL) d. Yiming Dang (CHN)/ Jing-Jing Lu (CHN) 57 63 10-5 Next, [R2] Rutuja Bhosale (...

We already had 7 last time, so 5 would be considered an underachievement. Let Sinhombre do the detailed projections but as of now I think anything more than 5 depends on shooting. Based on merits and performances over last 1 year, couple of medals should be there in shooting but than in last 2 olymp...

Sahaja upset Kayla Day in first round of WTA Mumbai, but that of course was on familiar courts and in familiar circumstances for Sahaja. On this green clay , the way Shrivalli struggled, I would be surprised if Sahaja even puts up a fight.

Yes, looks like projections would go down with mens wrestling, badminton (HSP/Sindhu) and to an extent from mens boxing and athletics (Sreeshankar).
