Suchanan left for thailand. Varana is a bit banged up with her left knee and she left for Germany. I assume Lotty seelen also is not there. Not sure who else has withdrawn.

Here is the singles main draw:

Code: Select all

Round 1:

1 Rushmi Chakravarthi (IND) vs Q Su-Jin Kim (KOR)
  Megha Vakharia (IND)      vs   Keiko Tameishi (JPN)
  Diana Julianto (INA)      vs Q Liza Pereira (IND)
6 Radhika Tulpule (IND)     vs   Montinee Tangphong (THA)
3 Sai Jayalakshmy (IND)     vs Q Sai Swapna Ramakrishnan (IND)
Q Arthi Venkatraman (IND)   vs W Iciri Rai (IND)
  Maki Arai (JPN)           vs   Geeta Manohar (IND)
7 Sonal Phadke (IND)        vs Q Joulia Vorobieva (RUS)
8 Wilawan Choptang (THA)    vs L Orawan Lamangthong (THA)
  Po-Kuen Lam (HKG)         vs Q Ryoko Watanabe (JPN)
  Archana Venkatraman (IND) vs   Preeti Rao (IND)
4 Da-Jung Hong (KOR)        vs   Shruti Dhawan (IND)
5 Akgul Amanmarudova (UZB)  vs   Sheethal Goutham (IND)
Q Ivanna Israilova (UZB)    vs   Eva Hoch (AUT)
W Isha Lakhani (IND)        vs W Samrita Sekar (IND)
2 Natalia Dziamidzenka (BLR)vs Q Elena Vesnina (RUS)
Good matchup between Isha and Samrita in the first round itself. Tricky matchups for all the top Indians - all of them are tossups, it seems to me. Actually Megha probably has a pretty winnable match - everybody else have tough opponents (I guess I am really being mean to Keiko here :wink: )

Here is the doubles draw:

Code: Select all

Round 1:

1 R.Chakravarthi/ S.Jayalakshmy vs   S.Sekar/ K.Tameishi
  G.Manohar/ L.Pereira          vs W I.Lakhani/ S.Phadke
4 S.Dhawan/ S.Goutham           vs   Archana V./ Arthi V.
  I.Rai/ P.Rao                  vs Q Qualifier/ Qualifier
  W.Choptang/ M.Tangphong       vs   D.Julianto/ R.Tulpule
3 A.Amanmuradova/ I.Israilova   vs   D-J.Hong/ S-J.Kim
W A.Lokhande/ V.Shivshankar     vs Q Qualifier/ Qualifier
2 N.Dziamidzenka/ M.Arai        vs   E.Hoch/ J.Vorobieva
Poor Megha - she was seeded last week with Dziamidzenka, but had to play qualies this week - and lost in the qualies.

Big win for Megha Vakharia! Hope she can continue with her good form to win the title. Old warhorse, Rushmi can find some consolation if she and Sai can win the doubles crown.

Any ideas why Sanaa and Ankita aren't playing here. Maybe something to do with the age restriction thing at the WTA because recently at the juniors the younger sis was doing fairly well at the juniors and playing Montinee who was did extremely well at those events.

Anyway, maybe someone knows why???

ITF $10K Women Bangalore (Feb 17) - All done!

Post by jayakris »

I hope Sanaa and Ankita are skipping this to focus on the ITF grade-1 Asian circuit in a few weeks. Too early for Sanaa to be playing much satellites. Ankita has shown that she can do well at this level, and I feel she is better off playing top juniors for a few good events this year..

Hey, nice win by Megha. It's been a looooong time (about a year and half) since we saw some good results from Megha. Sai just can't seem to get much continuity in her results these days..

Great to see another great young talent emerging out of the woods! Megha Vakharia has always been around, known for her great strokes but never really justifying her tremendous potential. Maybe, this tournament will mark the turnaround in her career that we have all hoped for. Keep blazing, Megs and come up with the trophy! :D
