Srikanth had the easiest match of the 3 and after winning the first game he was leading 15-13 in the second game only to sqander it awy with series of errors as he is prone to these day. Very good wins by Prannoy and Sindhu against whom they had losing record before today's matches. At Malaysia Mast...

Yes, excellent win by Srikanth over 5th ranked Kumlavut. However, Lakshya Sen lost against 14th ranked Angus from Hongkong 14-21 19-21.

2 Indian matches of Parth and Chirag against top 2 seeds got pushed to tomorrow due to rain. So, good for Karan Singh. He will likely to play second seed Vanshelboim from Ukraine playing his second match of the day, That is of course if the second seed beats Chirag Duhan first. Vanshelboim will have...

Oh my what the hell happened?? Just checked the score, SN won 6-0 in the 2nd set and then lost the 3rd. Just see the post above yours. Sumit had an injury break at 1-0 in third set and after that Sumit's game was not the same and he won only 1 of next 7 games. Also Valkusz is pretty damn good. He t...

Sad. It seems Sumit had an injury time out after the first game in third set when he pulled up with some stomach issue. I did not watch later but maybe that injury affected him later.

Sumit bagles Valkusz in second set. 57 60. On to third set.

We are at 3 out of 3 wins so far today with all 3 of our seeds winning easily. At the M15 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (Clay) [R2] (6) S D Prajwal Dev (IND,738) d.

Good start for us today. Sindhu extends her win-loss record against 18th ranked Aya Ohori of Japan to 13-0 by winning 21-16 21-11 in second round. Prannoy has an another excellent win after the upset yesterday. He beat 11th ranked Chinese Li Shi Feng 13-21 21-16 21-11 to move to QF. Lakshya and Srik...

As expected, Chinese proved too strong for Vaidehi.

There are 5 back to back tournaments scheduled in Asia for next week which are at the start of 1 year olympic qualification cycle. So, they are all very important for players. Starts with Malyasia Masters 500 this week, than Thailand open 500, Singapore Open 750,Indonesia open 1000 and ending with T...

I think there are 2 special exempts in main draw and 2 special exempts in qualifying draw. So, quite likely now that Manas will make it to qualies draw with more than a week still to go. There is some chance too that Aryan will move into main draw. I think Yuvan has taken too long a break after that...

Not yet. Only that middle court dried up for them to play. In the livestream from that court (Madaras vs Diez), we can see the far end of Sumit's court on the left side and it still has some wet patch. I don't know if they will restart the match today... We will see. It does not appear in order of ...
