Not that I support swapping Praneeth for Kidambi, but if we had done that Srikanth would have been 14th seed. Same if we had selected Lakshya, Sourabh, Kashyap or Prannoy. Any of them would have been the 14th seed. But, I don't think Praneeth's injury was serious enough to make this change. 

Yes correction on my part, Kidambi would have been seeded

Was never hopeful of current lot of Men's Singles players anyway. All of them had a poor 2019-20 season. We should start planning for 2024. Hopefully the next generation of Lakshya Sen, Varun Kapur, S. Sankar can carry the mantle

For Badminton, we should not set 2024 target but much smaller targets . Lot changes in four years and there are many major BWF events, Sudirman cup, Asian games and Commonwealth games in between.

Looks a difficult match for Mary tomorrow, hopefully her aura works in favour of her...

So Kento Momota and Ng ka Long lost today who were in same side of draw as Sai Praneeth. Surely a big missed opportunity to be a semi-finalist

Rowing:

 

India's pair of Arjun Jat Lal and Arvind Singh finish 11th overall in rowing lightweight men's double sculls.

And the minions loose in the quarters. The fact that they lost to the Taipei pair really dropped their confidences I guess.
