Karr, your appeal came just in time. Second refreshing post from you in the last few days. I was about to ask Prasen and Rajkumar to call truce and focus on data based discussion now as we near the team selection. There is a fundamental difference in opinion among the two about whether to drop the i...

Never realized TT players needed to be friendly with Popeye too.

Isn’t the other Taipei lady a multi-slam doubles winner? Doesn’t look that intimidating.

What’s with that happy birthday song playing in a loop in the background. It’s annoying to me; don’t know how it’s impacting the players.

Meanwhile, Ankita has started horribly in doubles too. Prarthana saved her at a break pt with a great net shot but the Taiwanese are killing us. 1-3 down a break, after Ankita stands like a statue when the shots fly around. I see a bit more spunk in the Indian pair than what was almost none in sing...

Is it the same lady who beat Ankita playing in doubles too?

Cha Ching. My theory actually is that when a player gets married, they are at peak to cash in on their success. Not literally and it applies to both men and women. It’s actually an acknowledgment by the player that I’m done and will go downhill from here on. They just know.

Is Samson Dravidian?

Atithee theory at play here? Hint—it’s about a big change in personal life.

^^She was weak today. I’m her unabashed fan, but today was a total capitulation.

Ankita should not play the rest of the ties. Period. If she is out of form, and has no focus or confidence, she shouldn't play. We have wasted Shrivalli so far. Rutuja came to play. Ankita did not. I watched only a small part of the Rutuja’s game. Wouldn’t call it she came to play. Her opponent was...

Can’t win with such weak players. We should let the next gen play now. They’ll be aggressive even in a loss because there is no baggage and no expectation.

Was up 0-30 in the opening game of the third set but being caught on the wrong foot by the steady side to side placements from the opponent. Not seeing good signs here.

Is there another toilet break? The chairs on Indian side are unoccupied. Just poor vibes all around.

She’s back. I think she’s wearing a different shirt now.

In all three matches I have seen, there is just no spark in Indian ladies. I’ll use the word inspid again. Just lethargic and zero intensity. What’s wrong? Too cold or something?
