Re: Roland Garros Claycourt Run-Up Tournaments 2024

^^^ I think it was some technical issue with some sort of service attack or something. Those things happen. We alerted Dhruv, who found time to fix it.

Re: Ramkumar Ramanathan thread

After a 4-week break, RamK gets back to action soon this weekend.

At the Challenger 75 in Shenzen Louhou,CHN (Hard)

[Q1] (9) Ramkumar Ramanathan (IND,358) vs Dominik Palan (CZE,375)

He is also playing doubles with Ray Ho (TPE) and they should be the 4th seeds when the draw comes out.

Re: Roland Garros Claycourt Run-Up Tournaments 2024

Yeah, the clay season is really long, and so many more tournaments are coming up. He does not have to hurry too much right now. Plus, I don't think he is too much of a momentum guy, who goes on or off in form for too long, or loses form after breaks. If he is healthy, he is in form and will play his...

Re: Roland Garros Claycourt Run-Up Tournaments 2024

The site says Sumit has withdrawn from Madrid Qualie but is Alternate #19 in Main. What does that mean? Looks like he is not playing? ^^^ It means he does not plan to get there by Sunday and get there tired playing qualies on Monday/Tues, after just a 9 day break. But somehow if the cut drops to #1...

Re: Roland Garros Claycourt Run-Up Tournaments 2024

^^^ Nice. They are often nice, unless they feel you are a reporter or tennis-groupie (they can all sense it). Yes, all the tournaments give great hospitality to the main draw players (singles and doubles). I don't think they even haggle about an extra day over the ATP/WTA stipulated periods of stay....

Re: Rutuja Bhosale thread

It has been a while since Rutuja was at an event by herself so a lot of her results were in general threads... After the fantastic performance on clay at Changsha at the Billie Jean Cup (4-0, winning at #2 spot in dominating fashion) last week, she stayed in China. And she started today with a very ...

Re: Athletics Thread (General/World)

Weird collusion to let a Chinese runner win . The African runners should be suspended and if the Chinese runner was also complicit, he should be banned. For a while. This is no different than match fixing. Why did the African runners wave the Chinese to win? This looks bizarre. Absolutely. They sho...

Re: Indian origin table tennis players

So, Kanak Jha served his 12 month suspension and is now considered clean, as far as spinach is concerned? Yes, the suspension was for 12 months from Dec'22 to Dec'23 for missing three tests. Then, when he was provisionally suspended, he participated in some activities which are not allowed when you...
