And then there is the Davis Cup World Group play-off against Brazil in Chennai from Sep 17-19 !

Who reported it and what did you analyse? It's obvious that either you didn't read my post properly or are short on comprehension skills. Still, let me pop you a question: How would you explain her skipping the Bangalore Open in 2008? More importantly, you think she had any say in that decision? Th...

How well do you know her parents? Since you don't know how well I know them, eat your POOMA yourself. Next time when you post, mind your language and tone. I am not posting to please you. If you don't like what someone else has written, get lost. Utter nonsense from crosscourtwinner and not worth d...

Go to Tennisindia.org and see what it says there "by the fans, of the fans, for the fans" Dear S_K_S, fans sometimes do throw rotten eggs. They are still fans. Jay: Your take on Sania's marriage is far-fetched. You yourself admit it is a "wild conjecture", so not worth debating ...

Here is what the WTA Tour Code of Conduct says in section D. Rules and Penalties - Players : 2. Withdrawals c. Prohibition Against Withdrawing from One Tournament to Play Another i. Once a Top 10 Player has entered a Tournament or any other player has been accepted into the Main Draw of a Tournament...

I think she and her partner (Niculescu, Monica) will withdraw from the doubles win or lose tomorrow (Friday). The ATP/WTA Tour rules are strict on withdrawals. One can't just like that pull out from the tournament for reasons of competing at another event. Unless you have an injury, and you can't f...

Wouldn't be a surprise if she goes all the way, provided her wrist holds. Touchwood! Not sure about that, one step at a time :roll: Thanks for bringing me back to reality. I had cautioned bujilover when he got excited about her beating the British favourite at Woking. But I thought after Wrexham he...

Our girl usually does well on the faster north american hard courts. Wouldn't be a surprise if she goes all the way, provided her wrist holds. Touchwood!

Anyone has any idea as to how much further her ranking would fall after this?

:Offtopic: My immediate thought is that we should not kick someone who is down, but equally, people have the right to be infuriated with Sania, or her parents, for the way her career has been managed. Her decision to play in the UK - let us not kid ourselves, it was no doubt influenced by Malik's tr...

First let her cross the second round. Timea Babos (HUN) is in form and could be a tough opponent.

Niru had an indifferent outing at Fuzhou. She had a bye in the first round of qualifying but crashed out in the second round. Can't make out much from the scoreline except that it must have been a "blow hot blow cold" performance. At the $25,000 Fuzhou, China Q2: SANJEEV, Nirupama (IND) l....

Niru lost in the first round. At the $10,000 Hefei, China R1: (Q) SANJEEV, Nirupama (IND) l. (7) WANG, Qiang (CHN) 6-3 7-5 The scorelines suggests she played the second set better, but maybe still has some way to go in terms of matching the fitness of an 18-year-old. Next, she plays the $25,000 qual...
