Re: 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2023

Man Singh finished 8th in the Marathon with a 2:16:59.

It is quite remarkable that the Indian record set by the iconic Shivnath Singh of 2:12 is still untouched since the past 45 years.

Re: Sumit Nagal thread

Sumit not up to the mark on fast quick surfaces and tamely goes down 3 & 2 , that too to a low 300 ranked opponent. Saw the match it was all about taking quick fast decisions and not like his red clay slow balls, where he could just lay back and have all the time on how to play his next shot Sti...

Re: Tennis at Asian Games 2023

^^^ Integrity wise yes Rohan would beat LP/MB, but one blot about deliberately not partnering Ram would be hard to erase, especially when the gold medal was at stake, After Rajpal vetod RB choice of Khade over Ram couldn't do much as far as pairing was concerned, and surprisingly cannot fathom this ...

Re: AIFF activities .. General Comments/ Rants ...

Didn't know where to post this bit of news.. about our celebrated coach of yester years, whom the bugs keeping in line with their motto and mantra of copying India in each and every field, have roped in Stephen Constantine. Don't know how are they going to find the money to pay his salary on time an...

Re: Tennis at Asian Games 2023

Saket is a bunny at the net.. misses easy volleys .. Agree to this , and one just has to go back to the Newport Semi's few months ago and with 3 mini break in the MTB at 9-5 our guys were a point away to make the 250 finals and overcome the hot team of Lammons/Withrow. Watched that match and not 1 ...

Re: 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2023

@Srini , I didn't mean to call you stupid, and what I meant was that the whole idea was stupid and ludicrous.
But frankly I am realy perplexed , as an Indian how could you even think on those lines.

Re: Tennis at Asian Games 2023

Gone and dusted , at 5-6 in the decider , was looking good to take it to the deciding TB , but at 30 all gave a match point which the 78 ranked Japanese readily accepted and the final score 57 76 57 , and once again as in S1, it was that one single moment which separated both the players.

Re: Tennis at Asian Games 2023

4 all , on serve in S2, come on Ram don't goof it up. And Ramu learns his lessons , not only at 5 all in S2 held at love , but in the TB broke his fancied rival thrice to take the TB 7-3 and the set. On to the decider.... Gets broken in the decider to go down love 2 , can he recover , like he did it...

Re: Tennis at Asian Games 2023

As is Ram's template , gets broken at crucial time after doing all the hardwork flawlessly, and the Japanese to serve for the set at 65 Have never really understood, time and again , on cue at one particular moment all the good work in 5 previous games suddenly breaks down. Edit: And there goes the ...

Re: Tennis at Asian Games 2023

Oh I was assuming this was another futures level player given the scoreline, thanks for the additional context Rajiv. @Sin Hombre , she is far better then her ranking suggest and is still work in progress , training in Spain with Ram's ex coach Juan Bacels and once she is full time on the tour, hop...

Re: Tennis at Asian Games 2023

Ankita prevails 61 62 over an exciting HK talent #354 Adithya Karunaratne .

The scoreline is very impressive considering her opponent was no pushover.
