India seeded 11 beats Romania seeded 4 in the women's TT R16. Good job! Next up Germany (5) /USA (15)

 

If the Indian skeet mixed team doesn't miss more than 2 shots in the last round we will be up for a bronze in Skeet mixed. So far missed 3 shots in 2 rounds between the two. 

[bharathh]

So far 14/14 by both Indian shooters in the 3rd round. 11 more to go.

Btw the pay in Dubai based on passport idea came about cause an Indian decided that he will cheap out and recruit workers for a salary that would be commensurate to the living quality in India.

 

These indian leeches decided to be a cheap skate and offer low pay relative to the living standards in Dubai to please his bosses. These people then hired recruits from India for low pay as there was so many competing for one role. Took advantage and exploited their own people. Disgracul humans. First eradicate such people from the face of earth, then worry about winning gold medals. Be happy we can even compete with all this corruption everywhere in India.

Yea the one Manika Batra beat in first match of her. Clutch performance.

Looks like seeds are a bit off. European teams play a lot of inter-europe competitions and earn ranking points.

Sreeja and Archana are very good in doubles. Manika good in singles. So one  player can play max 2 games. So ideally india will have to win the doubles and Manika needs to win her two singles matches for india to qualify. Note in team matches you dont play 7 set games. Its only 5 sets of 11 points.

She is  29 years old and experienced. Hope she gets a medal this time. But beating east Asians would be very difficult.

Actually Sreeja IMO looks a better player than Manika. Manika's backhand is targetted by her opponents and she often loses pts there.

Sreeja needs mental conditioning. She was up twice in two games against world no 1 and messed it up. She is going to get better. Even today she capitulated after leading.
