In this match he made numerous unforced errors and struggled with this serve ... Yuki need to bring more consistency in his game and regularly win these matches.<br /> <br /> In the first set Dennis broke Yuki in 1st game and that break was enough for winning the first set ... In the second set also Dennis broke Yuki in 1st game but this time Yuki immediately broke back to make it 1-all ... Dennis again broke him in 5th game but again Yuki broke back to make it 3-all ... Dennis take crucial break in 9th game and then hold his serve converting 3rd match point to won this match.</span><br /> ----------------------------------------------------------- <br /> <span style="color: #6633ff;">At $ 15K Australia F1 futures</span>, Toowoomba<br /> <br /> [Q1] <span style="color: #ff6600;">(4) Divij SHARAN (IND,806)</span> bye<br /> [Q2] <span style="color: #ff6600;">(4) Divij SHARAN (IND,806)</span> bt Vincent CADONA (AUS,UNR) 60 61<br /> [Q3] <span style="color: #ff6600;">(4) Divij SHARAN (IND,806)</span> bt Jack SCHIPANSKI (AUS,1184) 64 63<br /> <br /> [R1] (Q) Divij SHARAN (IND,806) vs Jordan COX (USA,670) <br /> <br /> <strong>Doubles</strong><br /> [R1] (1) Divij SHARAN (IND)/ Erik CHVOJKA (CAN) vs Matthew BARTON (AUS)/ Ze ZHANG (CHN)<br /> <br /> <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Good to see Divij decided to play in Australian futures ...

Sourabh Verma lost his match and Anand's inconsistent performance continued ... In 5th rubber he lost his match in 3 games.<br /> <br /> Major blow for Indian women team before their Uber cup match ... Saina Nehwal is struggling with viral infection (throat infection) ... Also a injury to Arundhati Pantawane's left eye has forced to skip the Uber Cup despite being selected in the Indian squad ... Becoz of that her performance also suffered in the senior nationals held in Bangalore recently ...

Take early control of the third set and won it comfortably ... Though Ramit lost fourth game and match but he gave very creditable fighting performance ... He stretched Karim to fullest with his game ... Karim needed to use all his experience to finished this match in 4 sets ... Few times Ramit take 2 points lead but from 6-8 down Karim won next well fought 5 points to completed victory.<br /> <br /> With this Egypt lifted the 1st WSF u21 World Cup and 4th seed India finished creditable runner-up position.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20466959-7122008723237349060?l=jaydeep72.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></description><link>http://jaydeep72.blogspot.com/2012/02/squash-news-at-1st-wsf-u21-world-cup_05.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jay)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20466959.post-9045743652554688006</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-02-04T21:42:03.304+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">2012 Squash</category><title /><description><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="color: red;">Squash News</span> <br /> <span style="color: #6633ff;">At 1st WSF u21 World Cup</span>, Chennai, India<br /> <br /> <strong>Semi-Finals</strong><br /> (1) Egypt bt (2) England 2-1<br /> <br /> Marwan El Shorbagy (EGY) bt Charles Sharpes (ENG) 3-1 (11-7,12-14,11-4,11-5)<br /> Nour El Tayeb (EGY) l Emily Whitlock (ENG) 0-3 (8-11,10-12,9-11)<br /> Karim Abdel Gawad (EGY) bt Declan James (ENG) 3-0 (11-7,11-8,11-9)<br /> ----------------------------------<br /> <br /> <b><span style="color: #274e13;">(4) India bt (3) France 2-1</span></b><br /> <br /> Ravi Dixit (IND) l Lucas Serme (FRA) 1-3 (6-11,11-8,6-11,7-11)<br /> <span style="color: orange;">Dipika Pallikal (IND)</span> bt Chloe Mesic (FRA) 3-0 (11-3,11-4,11-5)<br /> <span style="color: orange;">Ramit Tandon (IND)</span> bt Geoffrey Demont (FRA) 3-1 (11-5,6-11,11-2,13-11)<br /> <br /> <span style="color: #cc33cc;">In the first semi-final top-seed Egypt defeated England, 2-1.<br /> <br /> Ravi Dixit tried but Lucas Serme proved strong for him and Ravi lost in 4 sets ...

But in the second set Geoffrey Demont take early lead and won the second set ... In the third set Ramit surprised Geoffrey with deceptive shots from back of the courts and won this set losing only 2 points.<br /> <br /> What a closely fought fourth set ... Both players were fighting for each point ... Both players were trading lead in the beginning ... Ramit opened 6-4 lead but Geoffrey fought back to 6-all ... Ramit won next 4 points to 10-6 lead but Geoffrey saved all 4 match balls to make it 10-all ... Geoffrey had a set point at 11-10 but after saving that Ramit converted 5th match ball to complete memorable victory for India against 3rd seed France.<br /> <br /> In the final Indian team is facing top-seed Egypt ... Very tough match but I m hoping some spirited performance from our players ... Dipika is favorite in her match but Ravi Dixit and Ramit Tandon r underdogs in their respective matches against higher ranked opponents. </span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20466959-9045743652554688006?l=jaydeep72.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></description><link>http://jaydeep72.blogspot.com/2012/02/squash-news-at-1st-wsf-u21-world-cup_2583.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jay)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20466959.post-7269757286862276933</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Feb 2012 08:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-02-04T19:44:03.538+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">2012 Tennis</category><title /><description><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="color: red;">Tennis News</span><br /> <span style="color: #6633ff;">At Asia-Oceania Group II 2012</span>, Shenzhen, China<br /> <br /> <strong>Promotional Play-Off</strong><br /> <b><span style="color: #274e13;">India bt Hong Kong, China 2-1</span></b><br /> <br /> Rutuja Bhosale (IND,789) l Wing-Yau Venise Chan (HKG,534) 46 16<br /> <span style="color: #ff6600;">Sania Mirza (IND,111)</span> bt Ling Zhang (HKG,220) 57 60 61<br /> <span style="color: #ff6600;">Isha Lakhani (IND)/ Sania Mirza (IND)</span> bt Wing-Yau Venise Chan (HKG)/ Ling Zhang (HKG) 67(7) 61 75<br /> <br /> <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Very close match than expected but at least we managed to move into Asia-Oceania Group I after scoring comeback win ...

They dropped seniors like Rajpal Singh and added other seniors like Arjun Halappa and VS Vinaya in standby list ... Gurbaj is injured so he missed from the list ... Surprising selection of Ignace Tirkey, who will play international matches after long time ... Also interesting to see performance of new faces of the team, Kothajit Singh and S K Uthappa.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20466959-7524906977521042613?l=jaydeep72.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></description><link>http://jaydeep72.blogspot.com/2012/01/hockey-news-at-2012-olympic.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jay)</author></item></channel></rss>
