My main idea is to instill discipline in the players and make them understand that their performance is very important. Former all-rounder Madan Lal has his fingers crossed before the start of the season. It was joy for Neha of Manav Mangal High School as she made her way to claim the title in the junior girls’ singles final with a 3-1win over Parneet of Delhi Public School. But, Shapovalov showed initiative in a scrappy second set, breaking to go 3-1 and then levelling the contest. It’s far tighter this year, with Hamilton winning five races to Vettel’s four. Cilic, the highest seed in a clear bottom half of the draw, eventually paid the price for his lack of match practice after skipping the U. Gandhi won the third game in the match 11-9 before winning the fourth game 11-7 to equalise in the match. So shoddy was WFI’s planning that two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar compared it to preparation for a state tournament. Moreover, they made a bright start to what is expected to be a grueling home leg. While Gambhir was not available for a comment, Bhaskar remained largely non-committal on this issue.
