Re: Source for Indian players schedule
The only thing I am willing to put in $$ is some charity which helps Indian tennis players with coaching et al.

Re: Source for Indian players schedule
On further lookup, there are quite a few established data providers (paid) in the market. Opta, Stats LLC and so on. Relevant links below (using Stats.com as an example)
Overview of Sports / Leagues: http://developer.stats.com/docs/read/tennis
Sample on how the data is structured: http://stats.mashery.com/files/API_DD_P ... TENNIS.pdf
Lot of major online properties use these providers for their Sports coverage needs. Coming to Google, the experience is broken as probably each Product has its own priorities / focus area leading to lack of cohesive sports experience. Its getting there though.
Google Search already provides us with the upcoming matches of all ITF players. Based on how things are shaping up, Google Now app will likely be the ultimate home for all our needs in this area. For example, I searched for Leander Paes - it showed me his overview + recent results (and upcoming matches if scheduled already). There is an option to follow him (Link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/NAHQYM5BRaYXXYGU2). It doesn't work well yet but if I follow him, Lee's live scores / upcoming matches should show up and for each player I can set whether I should be notified/buzzed. Hopefully in the future, if the match is on YouTube - it will point me there and will also block time-slot on my Calendar based on my settings.
Given that probably it may or may not be the focus for the individual Google teams at present, interesting to see how it shapes up but am sure Google/Tech companies will get there in couple of years.
Note: I just gave examples with Google given that am heavy Android user but we can apply similar approach to Apple / MSFT products.

Re: Source for Indian players schedule
Sorry, I did not say what I had in mind clearly. I do not mind him playing consecutive weeks. I was saying that while there is more points on offer and potentially weaker opponents in the Asian cycle, he chose the US challengers where the competition is going to be tougher for less rewards. But, what he has shown after playing cupcake futures for a while, in the recent past he has not looked that much at the rankings and just wants to play good competition. You improve by playing good competition. Or at least, figure out what you need to improve in the upcoming off-season.

Re: Source for Indian players schedule
I don't like to use the word "hard" or "easy" because I don't believe there anyone gives you anything on a plate on the pro circuit. However, I do sign up to the theory that playing against better opponents (i.e higher ranked) makes you a better player. That philosophy works for me at club level.

Interesting that both RamK and Yuki chose different ATP qualies in the week of October 16 instead of challengers. Sumit seems to be finally going for tougher challenger circuit from next week in Taipei and then following up with challengers in China.

Darn. I wanted to be proven wrong. Is RamK really fatigued because of his schedule?

Re: Source for Indian players schedule
I am totally convinced of that. While it may be true that he is by far the best of all Indians in terms of keeping himself injury free, it is crazy to play these many weeks. Not even Leander in his younger days may have played this much of singles. He should consider slowing down and spread his training and playing weeks more wisely to benefit the most. Doing so will give him chance to have an extended career. After all, human body can only take so much of pounding.
