National Championships: PV Sindhu sets up Saina Nehwal clash; Srikanth Kidambi to meet HS Prannoy

-

The 82nd Senior National Badminton Championships at Nagpur got the two singles finals that everybody was waiting for. Former champions Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu will vie for the women’s singles title while 2013 winner Srikanth Kidambi will battle it out with second seed HS Prannoy in men’s singles.
Top seed Sindhu’s semi-final clash with South Asian Games champion Ruthvika Shivani Gadde was the biggest highlight of Tuesday. Gadde had beaten her illustrious compatriot on her way to clinching the South Asian Games gold in early 2016 and she seemed to be heading for a repeat of that result as she began the last-four encounter with a bang.With her ruthless attacking game, she kept Sindhu on the backfoot for a large part of the opener before wrapping it up, 21-17. The World No. 2 rebounded in style in the second game as Gadde became reckless and started peppering the court with unforced errors.
The youngster played brilliantly in patches but it was ultimately not enough to overhaul Sindhu, who remained very patient till the end and notched up a 17-21, 21-15, 21-11 win in 50 minutes.
The World Championships silver medallist clinched the title in 2011 and 2013 before she started dominating the international circuit.
She will take on fellow two-time champion, Saina Nehwal, whose two titles came in back-to-back years in 2006 and 2007. The World No. 11 did not have much hassle in her semi-final and was able to pummel the fifth seeded Anura Prabhudesai for an effortless 21-11, 21-10 win.

World Cup 2018: Italy and the nightmare of their play-off against Sweden

-

Six decades ago, a 2-1 defeat by Northern Ireland in Belfast meant the Azzurri stayed at home and had to listen to the tournament on the radio. It's why nobody in Italy wanted Michael O'Neill's side in the play-offs. Too many ghosts from the past. In the end, the name pulled out of the hat was still inauspicious. Sweden hosted the World Cup in 1958. The only edition of the competition Italy have missed. "We are not taking into consideration the idea of not going to the World Cup," says coach Giampiero Ventura. He's 69 - old enough to remember the time Italy lost in Belfast and does not want to go down in history with Alfredo Foni as the only manager ever to fail to qualify them for a major tournament. It is something Ventura would not be able to live down and would likely end his brief spell in charge of Italy. Especially with  former Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti  available.                                                         click
