Thanks Neil

Is this Tourney playing on grass ? Does anyone know ?

C'mon Jan
Good luck Isha.

 

[Vut]

Good luck JAN

 

[Dogdriller]

According to aceman's site, it is grass.

 

[Dhruv]

If it is in Bangalore, it will be on synthetic hard courts and not grass.

Chin Bee faces another qualifier in her first round. Good luck!

Young qualifier Punam Reddy pulled off a big upset over experienced 8th seed Archana Venkatraman .. Unlucky Sheetal Goutham once again ran into 6th seed Sai for the second week in a row, and once again fell in three sets .. Otherwise no surprises with Isha, Ankita, Shruti, Samrita Sonal, Megha etc all advancing .. 3rd seed Rushmi was reportedly still not fully recovered from the injury in UK a few months back - she was upset in the first round last week and again struggled a bit in three sets today.

BTW, AITA announced the team for the Asian championships at Tashkent week after next .. Rohan, Harsh and Sunil in the mens side, and Sania, Megha, Isha and Ankita on the women's side .. The singles winner gets a wildcard to the Australian Open main draw

 

[TheBoiledEgg]

Isha
Megha

 

[auntie janie]

Chin-Bee!

 

[jirobkk]

Jan is supposed to play Isha in QF again.

Good luck to both girl.
