Lakshya upsets the WR# 4 (Asian games gold medalist) to reach his first QF of the year, as well . Top seeds SatChi won their R2 in straight games.

Sindhu won her R2. I didn’t realize BWF streams matches for free on YouTube, so I had a chance to watch this match. A good comeback win. There was a moment when her opponent mounted a comeback in the 3rd game (12-13) but PVS played a solid game to stop her. French Open: R2: P V Sindhu (11) 13-21 21-...

They lost in straight sets (6-4 6-3) to alt pair of Smith/Mies. I don’t see this partnership lasting longer.

Ankita and Prarthana received a main draw wildcard to the Dubai WTA 1000 doubles as well. They draw a tough pairing of Shuko Aoyama/Aleksandra Krunic.

Ankita was supposed to play at this week’s W35 event in Thailand and she was in both singles and doubles (w/ Kaylah McPhee) draws only to know that she withdrew after the draws were made, so I assumed she were injured or something. But it seems that she received a qualifying wildcard to play at the ...

Sahaja led 5-2 in the 3rd set and lost 5 straight games to lose in the second round. Huge chance missed. Shows that she lacks experience at this level but a good tournament for her. Rutuja also lost in 3 sets 6-7(10) 6-2 1-6. If only she had taken the first set TB :cry: This tournament surprisingly ...

Hibino is known to be inconsistent, so hoping Shrivalli with her brave attacking style of play can take advantage of her opponent’s erratic pattern. On paper, Rutuja should win this match against the Thai. No expectations from Ankita to produce an upset.

Perfect answer to this discussion above. That they do belong in the ATP circuit, beating ATP #19, 22 in the doubles charts.

Dallas ATP 250:

R1 Anirudh Chandrasekhar/ N Vijay Sundar Prashanth 6-4 7-6 (2) Nathaniel Lammons/ Jack Withrow (USA).

^^^ You are whining too much these days :shrug:

Sahaja sends home the top seed 6-4 1-6 6-4

Adkar is lucky to get this wildcard being a local? Vaidehi and Shrivalli will have a tough task to qualify for main draw but perhaps the qualifying field isn’t as tough as the MD, here’s hoping.

For next week’s W50 at Pune, we have Ankita, Rutuja, Sahaja making the main draw directly. I believe 3 of the 4 the wildcards were awarded to Vaidehi, SRB, and Vaishnavi Adkar as I don’t see their names in the QD. In the QD, other the 2 matches involving Indians - Zeel playing WC Sanjana Sirimalla, ...

I think Manish is the only one I expect to win from today’s lineup. He has been in a good form this series.
