New Delhi, India
Good day for the Indian Shuttlers … men’s and ladies singles crowns with Sindhu and Lakshya sizzling in their respective matches at the Hylo Open in Denmark … a rare double at a BWF event but then we have the firepower to do this more often @MontyPanging @savvyghai

Squash at Asiad 26 … landmark for two Indians to be in the finals of such a marquee event … up against quality higher ranked opponents both came up short but surely the two have a bright future … for the moment let’s rejoice the silvers for Abhay and Anahat @MontyPanging

A little disappointing from the Indian shuttlers at the Asian Games with a sole team bronze to show for their efforts …suggests that the second rung of women behind PVS still have some way to go and the men, just need to handle the big moments better @MontyPanging @savvyghai

Alexander Zverev in his sixth grand slam final, the third this year, he’s won one, the French in 2026; will that be critical going up against Shelton against who he has 5-0 record … time will tell … Shelton though resurgent and different … cracker of a final in the offing

Roland Garros 26 … while Mira Andreeva at all of 19, made history as the youngest ladies Champion since 1992, Chwalinska scripted a saga of determination and resilience. Nine wins, three to qualify and then reach the finals … remarkable story, inspiration for times to come

Super run by Satchi at the Singapore open … a facile win in the Semis against the World No 1 pair and then a hard fought victory in the title match against the dogged Alfian-Fikri duo to record a first win by Indians in doubles at this marquee event … for good measure, also ended their two year title drought in the process … power on @savvyghai @MontyPanging @gauravcsawant
