We need to celebrate the new milestones created by our athletes rather than sobbing on the failures. Though we should have got more medals today but the list of accomplishments by our athletes make me feel happy.

You are right on first day overall performance of our athletes are better than earlier Olympics. 

Sutirtha Mukherjee also won her Match and through to the second round. Brilliantly played under lot of pressure. Coming from 3-1 down is remarkable.

Heart Brake for India Saurabh Chowdhary Eliminated. Poor performance in Final eliminated at 7th position.

Not a good start for India.

Not possible for Sumit Nagal- Sania Mirza in mixed doubles. They are way behind in rankings. AITA trying for Men's doubles qualifications by pairing in Sumit Nagal with Rohan Bopanna(As ITA giving preference to singles rankings in qualifications). And there in turn Rohan Bopanna pairing in with Sania Mirza in mixed doubles(Probably India's best shot at medals in Tennis).

Thanks for the information.

Tokyo Olympics – Sumit Nagal gets Olympics Entry: World No. 144 Sumit Nagal has made it to the singles draw of the Tokyo Olympics at a very last minute. None of the Indian singles player had qualified directly for the Olympics – but Nagal got lucky on two accounts.

• 1st – India has got a entry into Olympics after various withdrawals by the top players.
• 2nd – If not injured Yuki Bhambri would have got a entry for the Olympica via his protected ranking of 127 on ATP Charts – but as Bhambri is injured Nagal will represent India at the Olympics despite being ranked at 144th on ATP Charts.

 

After getting his singles entry confirmed, in all likelihood Nagal is all set to get spot in the mixed doubles draw as well. According to the information available, the All India Tennis Association is now trying for a mixed-double and Men's Double.

It would be even better. With Sania Mirza he can do wonders.
