Ankita/Rutuja upset top seeds 76 63 in the semis to move to the final round. Hope they win their first title of the year. Elsewhere, Vasanti Shinde lost in the finals of the W35 Terrassa ITF with her Spanish partner. Score 7-5 7-6. Well fought! Also, 2nd seeds Niki/Rithvik upset an up and coming SoC...

Ankita and Rutuja had a good win (7-6 1-6 11-9) in the doubles QF however against the Aussie paring of Priscilla Hon/Liz Cabrera. Nice little birthday gift for Rutuja.

Ankita lost to the Thai girl in straight sets.

Ankita and Rutuja are in Japan at the W50 Kofu ITF. Rutuja won her first round qualifying match against Morvayova, but hasn’t completed her second/final round yet due to the inclement weather. Supposed to be a sunny day for the matches to finally resume on Wednesday. At W50 Kofu, Japan: QR1 (3) Rutu...

Rajawat moves to the QF with a straight game win. PVS, on the other hand, loses in 3 games after winning the first one.

As many as 4 Indians are in the second round of the Swiss Masters Men’s singles draw. Priyanshu upset #14 in the first round. PVS too!

^^^ They only take orders via WhatsApp. I actually like their colors, and wanted to order some when I went home last year but they didn’t respond to my questions (re:seam length for shorts, etc.,). Saketh, Manish, SDPD and a few others actually wear their clothes. I also remember Sriram Balaji weari...

Yuki is in Miami. Perhaps he has a wildcard due to his former IMG connection?

Shrivalli upsets top seed Bara 6-3 6-0

Great fight from 14yo Maaya Rajeshwaran to take a set off her #788 opponent. I was excited when she won the first set but maybe next time Also, a pity that the organizers gave one of the wildcards to an Indian American Aanya Choubey over this 14yo bright Indian prospect

Miami Masters that’s played in a parking lot should barely be called a Masters 1000, let alone a slam.

Sumit skips Phoenix Challenger despite would have comfortably made the main draw (cut off -#111). Perhaps taking a week’s break to prepare for Miami.

Lakshya lost in 3 games. SatChi through to the finals avenging their India Open loss against the Koreans.

Raonic gave a walkover in his R2 match.

^^^ Look up BWF TV.

Lakshya just won his QF encounter in 3 games with a dramatic final point to win the match. World champion Vitidsarn next (2-4 H2H).

SatChi comfortably through to the semifinals, as well.
