Shikha Uberoi thread ...

Damn, I can't say I didn't have a premonition on that loss. I fail to understand the extreme score disparity in her matches versus top-500 and below 700 players. It's day and night.

Nice article on the Uberoi sisters - http://www.nj.com/columns/times/index.s ... xml&coll=5

Good to read this paragraph and hope she has some good results in those occasional events.

"The students here have incredible stories," she said. "I'm so impressed with them and I'm happy to be a part of it. I'm not ready to say retire yet and haven't completely let go of my dream."

She is also pretty active on her YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/uberoipr/

Nice to Shikha having some success after long time.

I think she is the only Indian woman apart from Sania to have made the top 100 in doubles. Why can't she concentrate full-time on doubles?

Why can't she concentrate full-time on doubles?

I guess that is what she is doing. She has not played any singles in last one year but has played 4 ITF tournaments since last month.
