Very nice stream. Who are the players? The Chinese woman doesn’t look that far superior than the Indian one based on a game and a half.

But, very poor body language from the Indian. As if she’d be rather anywhere else than on the tennis courts.

I have a simple solution for Sumit. Just get to the final this week. 4 more wins, that is all. He will get to top-30, become the fourth best Indian male player ever, and will safely remain in the top-100 for at least about 57 weeks, even if he does not win a single match in that period. This is the...

Interesting use of technology to train:

Here is the 4-min highlights clip from TennisTV Sumit Nagal Makes History vs Matteo Arnaldi | Monte Carlo 2024 Highlights A few observations from this short clip: 1. His grunt is different. It almost sounds like he says “I’m Playing” on every shot as opposed to just a guttural sound. 2. His inside ...

This year he is 3-2 (1-1 in AO, 1-1 in Marrakech, and now 1-0 in Monte Carlo). This is what we need to see. IIRC, our high ranked singes tennis players (Somdev, Sania, ??) seem to have a standout tournament or maybe a season, but then can’t keep up that level of play. Would love for Sumit to buck t...

Mia is not at fault, Mea is

Karr, what a refreshing change! Please post more often.

^^Because we unintentionally misspell foreign words. It’s Morelos Open, not Moreloss. It is held in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

Of course, you knew that Jay, right? It’s like Columbia for Colombia. Of course, there isn’t a country named Columbia.

Can we please open a new thread titled Prasen and Sharma ji world championship match and have them duke it out there?

Candy for me after you called it not winnable, Dinesh?

Anirban, you posted after 17 years in this forum? That’s some restraint in an addictive forum like this for us passionate members.

Umesh, Bhopi has got nothing to give to India. Picking them is waste for the franchise I thought about this too but concluded that it’s not franchises’ objective to facilitate Indian team selections. Their objective is to win the tournament. It’s a business—nothing more nothing less. They cannot be...

His build from one or two pics I’ve seen doesn’t seem ideal. Who knows. The big question for me is if he can bat. No batting, no dice.
