Re: Premjit Lall thread

Came across this wonderful article from his daughter Joya Lall written in 2022: https://countrysquire.in/2022/02/04/hey-daddy/.

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

Actually, I thought Mugu said IOC will pay. So, what is the big deal? IOC gets its money from the Taxpayers. There have been rising concerns on tax payer money being used to fund athletes who are not medal contenders. See the saga from the Asian Games: https://old.ptinews.com/news/sports/athletes-l...

If they earned their spot at the extremely elite stage like Olympics and valuable taxpayer money is a concern, why not let them pay for their own costs?

Re: Davis Cup 2024- India

This also shows that RamK has got his confidence back, about his game. I am really looking forward to a resurgence this year, back to top-200. Is top-200 worth it when he can be a regular top-10 doubles player? In the pursuit of this top-200 ATP / Grand Slam qualies career, he is losing out on pote...

Re: India Challenger100s, February-March 2023

I watched the Prajnesh match in its entirety but couldn’t watch the prajwal or Sumit matches live as I had to be home to look after my dad. I was trying to get Prajnesh to step back a few feet on the Hamad serve - that guy was serving accurate unreturnable bullets in the first set and his coach Bal...

Well apart from Rutuja, Ankita, Karman and Sumit, we have a first final outside India.

Re: Anirban Lahiri - PB WR #33 (28-Mar-15), India #1

I wonder what Anirban's tax domicile is. If it is India, he will pay around 37.5% of that US$2.5 million to the government, but he will probably have to pay more in the US or most European countries. Anirban relocated to Dubai before joining LIV Tour. Source: https://gulfnews.com/sport/golf-in-uae/...

Re: ITF W60/W25 N.America, Jun/Jul 2023

These USA ITFs are generally though around this time as it is College break and so lot of College Tennis biggies are lurking in the draws, whose WTA rank is mis-representative. Ellie Douglas, as Jay has mentioned, has been Indian Wells U18 finalist and top-320 WTA player. If Sahaja overcomes that, t...

However, worry is his strength seems to be clay and he hasn't shown the same strength on other surfaces.

Make hay!
Clay season is year long mostly.. barring 2-3 months.

Not possible for the next 30-40 years. In my opinion - India needs to become a middle income country (from poor country) for non-Cricket/Badminton infrastructure and people preferences to evolve.

Re: Anirban Lahiri - PB WR #33 (28-Mar-15), India #1

It is an obscene amount of money made by a guy that not even 10 people buy tickets to see play golf at any of those events abroad. Neither has he sold even $10K worth of products for the companies sponsoring those events. I can't wrap my head around this at all. Its big in sporting terms but not so...
