Saketh was just a match away from being in the main draw in the ATP tour 1000 event in Rogers Cup. But he gets some valuable points to continue to remain in top 150..

Tokyo - 2020

Go India Go

According to a news Sanjeev Rajput could replace pneumonia hit Chain Singh.

 

Is this athlete exchange allowed at this juncture?

Saina Nehwal and Sindhu both had a bad draw. She will face Li Xuerui in quarters and if wins there will face Carolina Marin in semis. Saina hasn't won over Li Xuerui since 2012 before London. And Sindhu has Tai Tzu Ying in pre quarters and Yihan Wang in Semis.

I think injury forced exchanges might be allowed.

Somehow I find Li losing her composure fast and Saina has a good opportunity against Li....Marin is a tougher opponent

My initial assessment regarding Badminton Draws:

 

WD: Gutta/Ponappa are in Group A along with top seed Japanese pair, Dutch pair and Thai pair. At present Gutta/Ponappa are lowest ranked among the 4 pairs. But, they have defeated Thai pair twice this year and have split 4 matches with Dutch pair 2-2 over the last two years. Of course, they have no chance against Japanese but they have a decent chance of winning the remaining 2 matches and reaching Semis. Dream draw. 

 

MD: Attri/Reddy are in Group D along with 2nd seed Indonesian pair, Chinese pair and Japanese pair. All three pairs are in top 10. Don't expect them to win a single match (though they did defeat Chinese pair in the only past meeting, Chinese in Olympics are a different beast). Absolute worst draw.

 

WS: Saina should have no problem in reaching Round of 16. Sindhu has a tricky encounter in Group stage with Li Michelle but I am sure Sindhu would win. Round of 16 is pretty straightforward for Saina (vs Porntip). Sindhu has once again a more difficult match against Tai Tzu Ying. She trails Tai in H2H but,  among the top 8, after Hyun Ji Sung, I think Sindhu has maximum win chance against Tai, so no complaints. You can't have easy matches quarter onwards. If you want to win medal, you have to defeat the best, so of course in Quarter, Saina and Sindhu will face top players like Li and Yihan. If we didnt draw those two, we would have drawn Marin and Intanon. For, Saina it is bad as she has a mental block against Li but as I said, if she wants a medal, she needs to overcome it. No complaints. Considering depth of the field and our rankings, good draw.

 

MS: Srikanth should win his group easily. In Rd of 16, he faces Jorgensen. Without doubt a tough match. Jorgensen is a class player. But, like Sindhu, considering he is seeded 9th he could not expect an easy match. It could have been slightly better (Chou?) or much worse (Lin Dan, LCW or Chen Long). Final verdict: neutral

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
