 Kidambi Srikant withdraws from the Australian Open. Sameer, Mithun in battle:



India's star shuttle Kidambi Srikanth withdrew from the Australian Open Super 300 badminton tournament starting here on Tuesday. Srikanth thus joined his Lakshya Sen duo, doubling down on him with Satwiksairaj Rankreddy and Chirag Shetty, to withdraw from the US$180,000 tournament. Srikanth, who ranked 10th in the Race to Guanzhou rankings, needed to win the match to qualify for his tour final at Worlds in the December season.

But the 29-year-old from Guntur, who won a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games and played a heroic role in India's epic Thomas Cup win earlier this year, has decided to let it go.


Srikanth reached the semi-finals in his final tournament held at his Hylo Open in Saarbrucken, Germany. The Indian was also in the top four at the Korea Open and Swiss Open.

His withdrawal means HS Pranoi will be India's sole representative at the World Tour Finals, especially after two-time Olympic champion PV Sindhu also withdrew from Sunday's event in Guangzhou.


India's challenge at the Australian Open comes from Samir Verma, who has returned from a long injury hiatus. He launches a campaign against Nathan Tang.

Former world number Samir.


His comeback last year was short-lived as a calf injury forced him to withdraw from the quarter-finals of the Danish Open. He also had problems with his hips and shoulders.


He was good-looking in his time during his three consecutive wins to the world number one ranking. 8 Gegen Anthony Siniska Ginting Gegen French Open.

Mithun Manjunath, who reached the final of the Orleans Masters Super 100 and twice challenged internationally in Nagpur and Bengaluru, will face second seed Loh Kean Yew of Singapore.


In the women's singles, Tanya Hemanth will face Goh Jin Wei of Malaysia and Anwesha Gowda will face local Pitchaya Elysia Viravong.

The reason for Messi celebration... with a message to Van Gaal

  The reason for Messi's celebration... with a message to Van Gaal: Leo Messi brilliantly assisted Nahuel Molina's opening goal and scored a penalty that put the second goal on the scoreboard, leading Argentina to the World Cup semi-finals in Qatar. A goal that started an intra-story that had a lot to tell. After the final whistle blew, Messi approached the Dutch dugout with a speaking gesture. This clearly shows the disagreement between van Gaal and his coaching staff, especially Edgar his David, who clashed on the same pitch. As a result of the whole story, he released his statement after the game, in which he said, "Van Gaal sells that he plays football well, puts big people in, and kicks the ball." I have started," he assured. My goat was a villain yesterday. pic.twitter.com/7fVjy99lBz — AFCRaytube (@raytube_ray) December 10, 2022

Cristiano receives an offer of 225 million dollars?

  $225 million offer for Cristiano! Cristiano Ronaldo's future continues to be a hot topic. The Portuguese striker would have received a huge offer from Al Nasr after his Manchester United split became official, as CBS Sports published this Saturday, the Saudi Arabian side would be happy to offer him his three-year contract. Al Nasr, who had previously been interested in the player as well as other Middle Eastern clubs, waited until the end of the World Cup to see the Portuguese attacker fetch his proposal of $75 million (just over €78 million) for the season. I look forward to responding to you. With contact already being made over the summer, the Asian club has assured that a deal won't take long if Cristiano gives up European football and seeks new experience. Right now, the 37-year-old forward seems unlikely to be signed by a team playing in the Champions League. His hopes from last summer and that of Al Nasr would be the only solid offer he is currently offering.
