That indicates that it is a professional team now. Most of the top professional leagues get the best players they can afford from wherever they can find them. Overall a professional league should improve the standard of football in India provided sufficient number of Indians get to play in the ...

[Q2] (3) Sahaja Yamalapalli (IND,320) vs (11) Maria Kozyreva (RUS,556)

At the ITF W100 in Charlottesville, VA (Clay) qualies:

[Q1] (3) Sahaja Yamalapalli (IND,320) vs Maria Carolina Ferreira Turchetto (BRA,NR)

Riya has gone from Europe to USA for this week. She is at the ITF 100 in Charlottesville, VA (Clay-HarTru) for the qualies as the 13th seed

[Q1] (13) Riya Bhatia (IND,623) vs Alexandra Osborne (AUS,1297)

Ataboy, Kriish!

I would love to see one of our players in Jr GSs again. So long since we had people who actually won them.

I think LP is the last one to win a junior grand slam singles title. But that was back some 34 years ago. I just want to see somebody threatening to make the QF or SF. Even that has not ...

With last week's 1 extra point, Manas will be around 760 next Monday. Today's win takes it to 33 a week later on April 28th, which as of now looks like just a couple of spots inside top-750, based on current live rankings that include last week's ITF points. But it could also fall a spot or two just ...

^^^ FRI/SAT for two rounds each. Or possibly the SF and F on Sunday. Tough, but there will be some withdrawals and all that (mostly from doubles) and it will get done :) ... If it rains for one more day, they will have to cancel the event altogether. Since the next week event is also at the same ...

^^^ The trip to Santa Domingo for two weeks did not help. Sahaja is in a slump right now. She has no physical ailments or anything, and she can seemingly still play good stretches of tennis, as we saw for a few games inn the second match at the BJK cup before the cramp, but she seems to show a ...

After a few months on the Indian circuit, Riya Bhatia (IND,634) has gone to Europe. At the W75 in Calvi, France (Hard)... She was the 7th seed in the qualies with a Q1 bye, but had lost cheaply, 36 06 to 12th seed Jana Otzipka (BEL,902) in the Q2.

She made it in as a lucky loser today though, as ...

Vaishnavi was in the Indian circuit for the last 4 months, and her results were covered in various tournament threads...

She is at the W15 in Antalya, Turkey (Clay) this week.

[R1] (6) Vaishnavi Adkar (IND,631) d. (SE) Gaia Maduzzi (ITA,1200), 76(5) 46 60
[R2] (6) Vaishnavi Adkar (IND,631) l ...

^^^ Come on, let us not make fun of him for coming back. I am certainly glad that Billi decided not to wait as long as he initially said, to come back.

Saying that he was going away in a fit of anger or annoyance was a mistake. But to change one's mind after that despite knowing that he might take ...

In the main draw at ITF W25 Santa Margherita di Paula -2, Italy (clay),

[R1] (Q) Manas Dhamne (IND,775) vs Raul Brancaccio (ITA,402)

This will be a very tough match. 27 yr old Brancaccio was ranked #121 two years ago, and has been playing well in his last four M25 and M15 events, with two finals ...
