I find that Aisam has withdrawn from the Manta challenger. Wonder what is up. I know he entered that only on the last day before entries closed, probably to keep the options open if he did not do well the last two weeks. Now that he played well recently and made a lot of points he must have decided ...

Aisam easily made the cut, no problem.

Starting the thread early. The qualifying entry list came out today. I could not believe my eyes. The cut is at #243. Harsh Mankad at #282 is 27th in the waiting list. I expect the cut to drop by about 8 spots due to wildcards to the main draw, about 5 more due to main draw withdrawals and perhaps 5...

They are much better than what they used to be, and are generally on par with cricketers in other countries now. It would not be too long before we see a lot of the pure athletes also come out in Indian cricket...

Saleem: Don't worry, the final seedings in the draw will be based on the lastest ranking from the week before the event. He will be a second seed.

The man had the decency to continue the romancing till very recently but he must have known for a while the kind of pettiness she is capable of... If the lady has not undersood a tennis player's &q...

The Germans probably tried something in the second half of the second match and it didn't work, and Ireland scored a 65th minute goal to win it. Once they were behind 0-2 in the 3rd game, they went back to whatever was workinga dn we scores 6 goals unanswered. heck if we finish with 6 goals in the l...
