[Sin Hombre]

Sreeja is playing like a top-30 player right now. What age do tt players peak?

I wonder if we can put together a decent women's team which can qualify to the Olympics with Manika, Sreeja, Mukherjee "sisters"

[sameerph]

19 year Yashaswini Ghorpade and 21 year old Archana Kamath are also good. But, I guess they have to finish in top 8 among teams not qualified thru continental qualifications at world team championships which is not easy. I checked and last time we lost in round of 16. So, it is not impossible to take a step further this down.

Sreeja lost in the QFs to the eventual winner Cheng I-Ching

She also reaches her CHR #51
