Shikha again qualified for maindraw with straight sets victory ... In doubles she is top-seeds with Mashona Washington and they had comfortable winning start against wild-card pair.

Slow but sure improvement from Shikha. Now for the next step, please win R1 this time. Irrespective of the outcome, one must be proud of her -- battling it out on the field as well as with her asthma.

Shikha is making a fan of everybody here with what she is doing these days.. You go girl! .. The main draw wins have been tough, but who cares? .. Sometimes the journey itself is the goal .. Keep the fire alive!

Was hoping upset as Rampre was lowest ranking direct entry into maindraw ... Treta and Shivika entered in doubles draw as lucky-loser but lost easily against Japanese pair, who next play in quarters against top-seed Shikha and Mashona.

[PKBasu]

Disappointing loss in singles: she is playing at the level of her ranking, but she is surely capable of doing much better. Good to see Shikha pressing on in doubles, though!

(Treta/Shivika seem to have over-reached a bit by trying to play Challengers in the US rather than Futures in Asia -- followed by Challengers in our part of the world; they are both really small-built girls, who look like babies especially when you compare them to the Russians -- as Akhtar Ali did when I talked about them to him at the nationals last December...!).

[Q3] (7)Shikha UBEROI (IND,649) v. (3) Tamaryn HENDLER (BEL,450)

[jaydeep]

These days Shikha is winning these matches easily ... She is again showing performance like top-400 player, hoping win for her in the final qualifying round ... In doubles she is partnering Macall Harkins.

[R1] Shikha UBEROI (IND)/ Macall HARKINS (USA) vs Madison BRENGLE (USA)/ Asia MUHAMMED (USA)

[jayakris]

Shikha's results have been odd -- she seems to completely dominate players below about 600 or so, but seems to noticeably struggle against top-400 or event top-500 players. Hope she wins the Q3 somehow. Based on recent results, it won't be an easy match though.
