Fifth-ranked Nadal will be joined by 13th-ranked David Ferrer for singles duty with Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez slated for doubles. I will believe it only when Rafa lands in India. Before that, good chance he will pull out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapil857 31 Posted September 7, 2016 #4594 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) By the way, is anyone here following the chess olympiad ?? The Indian men are doing absolutely awesome. They are 1 of only 3 teams to have won all 5 of their matches so far. Yesterday, Harikrishna defeated a higher-rated Azebaijani (home favorite and with a record of 4 wins out of 4 till then, also now in top-10 of the world) with BLACK pieces. Then, the new star Vidit Gujrathi doubled the joy by repeating the same - defeating a higher rated home player with a 4/4 record so far, again with BLACK pieces. Vidit so far is one of only 4 players (out of the 1000+ competing at the Olympiad) who has won all his 5 games. India eventually won the match 3-1 (India is seeded 9th, Azerbaijan 4th). Today is rest day. Tomorrow, India face Netherlands, also 5/5 (third 5/5 team is Ukraine) with Harikrishna (2752) facing Anish Giri (2755) on the top board. The women unfortunately haven't fared so well. After starting with 3 wins, they have had to settle for draws against lower-rate Israel and Vietnam. They face Latvia tomorrow.

She is much better than this. Excellent start by the Men's team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
