Ankita quickly down a break 0-2. We should have sent Sahaja in for this match and kept Ankita fresh for doubles. Come on coach!! Hope she gets back into it. She often does.... And she does. Breaks back. 1-2 and serving. Broken again :( ... Now serving at 1-4.. Finally holds at 30... 2-4 Horrible ten...

But, how did Sumit get into Barcelona? I see Nakashima entry rank 92 is still in the ALT. And, Sumit's entry rank was 97? Barcelona seems to have cleared only up to entry rank 85. Kei Nishikori got a wildcard in Barcelona. Alcaraz and Nadal are bout doubtful for Barcelona. Munich has cleared up to ...

Well, if he withdrew, he would have withdrawn from all. The question is why he is not listed as withdrawn, right? That is the question. I think players disappear from the QUALIFYING entry list with ATP (not even shown as "withdrawn") only when they get a wildcard somewhere. They show up i...

That is the first match that Korea is losing, after their 9-0 start. Now they have to win 2 against us to have a chance to advance to playoffs (expecting them to lose to china tomorrow and us to beat NZL; the latter is not a given)...

^^^ Yeah. Rutuja feels quite comfortable on clay, and it shows. 62 32 and serving... This is the key game to press the pedal down and keep advantage. Coach should be talking to Rutuja right here and pumping her up to stay focused, but she is not. Anyway, Rutuja doesn't seem to need it, and plays bea...

Prasen, the Madrid masters is later (week after from Apr 24th). It is Barcelona 500, Munich 250 and Bucharest 250 this week. Sumit was in the entry list for main draw for all three (but a few spots out. As of Thursday afternoon in Europe, he made the main draw at Munich and Barcelona, and he withdre...

Horses' mouths are silent, so I assume there is some reason why they are

Strong start with two breaks by Rutuja. 5-1. And she takes the set 6-2

Up a break again in the first game.., Now 62 20 ... 3-1

Nothing original from Shalini Thakur. It is Rutuja at #2 (against Korea's proper #2 SoHyun) and Ankita at #1 (against their proper #1 SuJeong) for singles today. Prarthana and Shrivalli for doubles (which I think can be changed) Damn, why can't we do anything with a plan?? None of what we said above...

Is it possible that he may have got WC to Barcelona? I see that is still to be awarded. Although, he may have got in anyway. He could have been granted a wildcard and they might not have announced it. In that case, I think the qualifying list won't list it as a withdrawal. The name would be just ta...

^^^ Yeah, I am not sure what is going on. He suddenly disappeared from the Barcelona/Bucharest/Munich lists altogether, like he was never there... And he is listed as withdrawn in the Munich qualifying list too. He decided not to play next week? Why?

^^^ It really turned out as a "pulsating encounter," like the newspapers would say... after it all looked like a silent funeral march for the previous 3 sets that Ankita had lost 46 46 46 in singles and doubles. Prarthana decided to take over the match, and got Ankita to stop thinking of f...

^^^ Actually Sumit has made the main draw at Munich and Bucharest ATP250s but is waiting for Barcelona ATP500 where he is 3rd out now. Where do you get this info I usually go here - https://www.dartsrankings.com/tennis/ There are probably some other sites too (and some twitter accounts that tweet t...

Saved a BP and held with a service winner that Rune netted. 2-2 in the 3rd. Sumit gets broken at love at 2-3 though :( ... Two errors from him and steady play from Rune. 2-4 Rune took 11 points in a row there before Sumit won a brief rally for a point... Rune holds. 2-5 Won a nice 14 shot rally to g...
