Rohan can take Sumit to the Olympics even if Sumit does not make it on his own in singles. A top 10 doubles player can partner with anyone from his country that has a top 300 singles or doubles rank, so Sumit would certainly qualify as Rohan’s partner.

Sahith Theegala places 2nd in the $20mm RBC classic. He wins over $2.16MM and moves to a career high WR of 12. Akshay Bhatia also finishes a respectable T-18 and moves to his career high WR of 33.

Pretty amazing achievement for Gukesh!! He also moves to #6 in the world rankings. Based on his performance here, he may be underranked!

Ramk beats Palan 4&2. Up next, is the slightly higher ranked Rio Noguchi.

Mukund loses in Q1 to a Chinese WC.

Nice second ATP title for Yuki Bhambri. Just the first title for Olivetti. At this point the pairing will have to do really well in the grand slam tournaments for them to move up substantially in the rankings. Olivetti is slightly higher than Yuki largely due to making the QF of the US Open and gett...

The WFI scandal has clearly handicapped our men wrestlers. Full credit to our women for still being quite good and they will have a chance to medal if they get decent draws.

At Munich ATP 250 (clay)

[QF] Yuki Bhambri (IND) / Albano Olivetti (ITA) vs. Robert Galloway (USA) / Evan King (USA) 6-3, 6-3


Up next for them are defending champs Erler/Miedler who beat them in the semis at Marrakech ATP 250 tournament.

He may be sharing with his coach unless the tournament also gets the coach a separate room. He is definitely in a better place financially this year if he can stay in top 100 and make all the GS main draws. BTW, I read on Reddit that singles players get min 5 days from Saturday and doubles players g...

Looks like Yuki was defending 90 points this week, so needs another win to defend those points. I title will move him to the mid 50s in the ranking. Good luck for another few wins which are much needed for him to move up…

Flavio Cobolli just lost 2-6, 3-6 to Nadal. This follows his previous weeks 2-6, 3-6 loss to Nagal. So, Nagal = Nadal?

Even #6 Vidit has an outside chance if he can win 3 of the 4 remaining games. Good luck to all 3 Indians in the Open section.

I think our 2 women are unlikely to win with one of the two Chinese players in the lead likely to win.

I hope that is the case as that would mean no injury. :D Some rest is good as a preventive measure even if ends up missing a week or two of clay court play. Wimbledon first round loss paid nearly $70K last year, so completely makes sense to go there financially even if his game isn't necessarily sui...

^^^I don't know how they maintain handicaps in India or in the US post-Covid. Even though I play regularly, i don't record my scores for handicap purposes these days as that would prevent me from taking certain liberties with my lie (i.e., use of the foot wedge) or the local rules that I rather enjo...

Seems somewhat speculative. Looks like the prize money is only for gold medalists. Those that are gold medal contenders are likely already somewhat well funded and tested, so it seems unlikely that this would be a bigger incentive to dope (since the gold medal will likely be stripped away if they ar...

Taking breaks to recover and train is what the top players do as they typically play multiple hard fought matches each week that they play. So, fingers crossed on that is what he is doing (and hopefully he isn't fighting some niggle or injury). I guess we'll only find out when he plays next. The cla...
