Getty Images The first round round matchups are set as the men's and women's singles draws for the French Open were announced on Thursday. Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz are all on the same side of the bracket. If things work out as expected, the top seed and defending champion Djokovic could face Nadal in the quarterfinal round. This would be a good opportunity for Nadal -- a 13-time French Open champion -- to make Djokovic pay for defeating him in last year's semifinals. Whoever advances could be taking on Carlos Alcaraz in the following round, that is if he can take care of Alexander Zverev in their own quarterfinal match. Alcaraz beat both Nadal and Djokovic in consecutive matches and went on to win the Madrid Open earlier in May. On the women's side, world No.1 Iga Swiatek will entered the competition with a 28-match winning streak and the No. 1 seed and her path to a second French Open title got a little clearer after some big names fell in the first … [Read more...] about 2022 French Open: Draw, seeds, schedule, how to watch, stream, live updates, scores, TV channel

It was a disappointing end for the team as they had several opportunities of driving home the initial advantage given to them by their bowlers. But some clumsy fielding meant the duo of Rajat Patidar and Dinesh Karthik took RCB to a total of 207 runs, which turned out to be a bit too much for KL Rahul 's men to chase. Throughout the match, the broadcast cameras kept going back to LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir , who was a man full of emotions on the sidelines as he witnessed his wards in action.

Who is Rajat Patidar? Know all about RCB’s century-maker in the IPL 2022 Eliminator against LSG
A maiden IPL hundred was a just reward for his clean, non-muddled hitting for RCB on Wednesday night (May 25). His innings ensured that RCB reach a very challenging total against LSG and in a prime position to reach Qualifier 2 against Rajasthan Royals. Fortune also favoured Patidar on this night as Deepak Hooda dropped him when he was 82 off Ravi Bishnoi and to make it worse, the ball rolled over the ropes for a four. Patidar meted out severe punishment for the young Bishnoi, whose leg-spin was dispatched for 3 sixes and 2 fours to rack in 26 runs in 5 overs as RCB recovered from a sluggish middle-over phase to race to a big total. So, who is Rajat Patidar? For beginners, he is a 28-year-old middle-order batsman from Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Rajat Patidar Patidar is in circuit from 2015 and was part of RCB set up in IPL 2020 and 2021 too but did not get much chance to showcase his skill.

Velocity suffered a 16-run defeat in the Women's T20 Challenge but still qualified for the final on the basis of a better net run-rate, knocking out victors Trailblazers from the tournament in Pune on Thursday. Velocity will face Supernovas in the summit clash on Saturday. Invited to bat, Sabbhineni Meghana and Jemimah Rodrigues smashed scintillating fifties to help the defending champions post a huge 190 for five, the highest total in the history of the tournament.

The Trailblazers bowlers, led by Poonam Yadav (2/33) and Rajeshwari Gayakwad (2/44), eventually managed to restrict Velocity to 174 for nine to also open their account but … [Read more...] about Trailblazers Beat Velocity By 16 Runs But Crash Out Of Women’s T20 Challenge On Net Run-rate | Cricket News
