In case you don’t know the difference between Soft Tennis and Lawn Tennis, we have it covered for you.

Asian Games 2023: What is the difference between Soft Tennis and Lawn Tennis?

Asian Games 2023: Soft Tennis differs from Lawn Tennis in that it uses soft rubber balls instead of hard yellow balls and a different scoring format.

India beat Cambodia 3-0 in men’s team soft tennis event in a rather dominant finish.

Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand eased through to R16 in the women’s doubles match after defeating Aminath Nabeeha and Fathimath Nabaaha 21-14, 21-12.

Tanisha Castro and Ashwini Ponnappa defeated Maldives’ Maisa Fathuhulla Ismail and Aishath Afnaan Rasheed 21-2, 12-2(retd) after the Maldivians retired.

It’s 5-5, which only means we will head into another SO between Dhiraj and Ilfat Abdullin. Dhiraj shoots a 9, and Ilfat gets a 10. That would hurt. Especially because of the two misses by Dhiraj earlier.

Dhiraj misses a target each in two sets to gift points to the Kazakh athlete. IND 4-4 KAZ

India and Kazakhstan share spoils after the first two sets.

It’s the end of the road for Atanu, who goes down in a shoot-off against home favourite Qi Xiangshuo in the quarterfinal. After a 5-5 in the competition stage, Qi responded to Atanu’s 10 in the SO with another closer to the bullseye.

The Indian pair of London Singh Hemam (207.00) and Siddharth Bajrang Pardeshi (236.35) fail to make it beyond the preliminary round of men’s 3m springboard.

The judges have ruled in favour of Lovlina in the blue corner (5-0). She will be returning to India with not only a gold/silver but also a ticket to Paris for next year’s Olympics.

Asian Games: Lovlina advances into women’s boxing 75kg final, qualifies for Paris Olympics; Narenders bags bronze in men’s +92kg category

India’s Lovlina Borgohain advanced into the final of the women’s boxing 75kg event after a win against Thailand’s Baison Maneekon in the semifinal.

Lovlina looks to be a bit under pressure. She is fighting the Asian Championships 70kg silver medallist after all. Another warning has been served to both athletes for holding up play. Lovlina lands an upper cut just before the bell goes off.

Lovlina displays nimble footwork to evade her opponent’s punches. The referee intervenes to separate the boxers. Another dominating show from Lovlina. Three judges have favoured Maneekon in this round.

Lovlina trying to use her height to her advantage. With about 25 seconds remaining on the round clock, Lovlina looks to attack a bit more. A bit touch-and-go.

An unanimous decision by the judges to award the first round to the Indian.

Although a bronze medal is confirmed for Lovlina, she’d love to take things a step further to challenge for gold.

India fails to open its account against Japan as the latter marches home with a 3-0 scoreline in a Group A match.

Tunjung shows Chaliha the exit door from the round of 32 in straight games. 21-17, 21-16 is the final scoreline.

2022 Asian Championships bronze medallist Preeti will have to stay content with another medal of the same colour after three judges rule in favour of Chang. The reigning Asian Games gold medallist wins on points 5-0.

Preeti now has become second boxer after Nikhat to clinch the bronze medal.

Asian Games 2023: Preeti wins boxing bronze in women’s 54kg event

India’s Preeti clinched bronze in boxing at the ongoing Asian Games after suffering a defeat against China’s Yuan Chang in the women’s 54kg semifinal in Hangzhou on Tuesday.

Preeti connects a few combination punches. An upper cut now! The Indian looks way more aggressive than the other rounds.

Preeti on the defensive after landing a few soft punches. A straight jab lands on Chang’s face, after which the Chinese boxer is looking to attack further. Three judges rule in Preeti’s favour.

A left hook lands square on Preeti’s face. The start hasn’t been that promising for the Indian pugilist. A 4-1 split decision awards the first round to Chang.

India’s Preeti is in action against China’s Yuan Chang in the women’s 54kg boxing bout. At least a bronze is confirmed in this event.

India’s Ashmita Chaliha loses first set 17-21 to Indonesia’s Gregoria Tungjung.

The mixed doubles team of Abhay Singh and Anahat Singh beat the Hong Kong Chinese pair of Tsz WIng Tong and Ming Hong Tang in straight games 11-10, 11-8.

Here is a summary of the women’s and men’s speed qualification rounds -

Ojas Pravin Deotale beats Yang Jaewon 150-146. That means, Ojas will later take on Abhishek in the gold medal match.

That essentially confirms both gold and silver for India.

Tejaswin Shankar finishes last on the pole vault leaderboard, but he would be happy that he could at least set his Personal Best in the event.

With 645 points from pole vault, Tejaswin is now second on the overall rankings below China’s Sun Qihao.

The Indian men’s cricket team beats Nepal by 23 runs to make the final four. Click on the thumbnail link below to catch the highlights brought to you by my colleague Nigamanth P.

India vs Nepal HIGHLIGHTS, Asian Games 2023 cricket quarterfinal updates: IND wins by 23 runs to qualify for semifinal

IND vs NEP: Get live score, updates ahd highlights from the Asian Games cricket quarterfinal between India and Nepal.

South Korea’s Joo Jaehoon goes down 145–147, and that would only mean at least a silver medal confirmed for Abhishek Verma. He will next play the winner of the other SF between Ojas Pravin Deotale and Yang Jaewon.

India finds itself at the very bottom of the pile as the women’s canoe double 200m and women’s kayak four 500m come to an end.

The Indian women’s team starts with a win. It beats Mongolia 3-0 (5-1, 4-2, 5-1).

The men, in the meantime, lost to Thailand 1-2. Jay Meena won the only tie.

Hong Kong China would be relieved that the ordeal is finally over... Six Indian players got onto the scoresheet but the star of the match has to be Deepika for her hat-trick.

A slow drop from Sindhu, and that’ll be it. She romps home in straight games, beating her opponent from Chinese Taipei 21-10, 21-15.

Jyothi Surekha Vennam beats compatriot Aditi Gopichand Swami 149-146 to enter the gold medal match that is scheduled for October 7. Aditi will get to fight for bronze.

Wen-Chi suddenly seems more confident, darting across the court to return Sindhu’s drops. The Indian, however, has the lead of a solitary point going into the midgame interval.

Malla cannot believe what he is seeing! Rinku Singh and Rahul Tripathi combine to complete a stunning relay catch near the ropes. Kushal Malla c Rinku Singh b Ravi Bishnoi 29(22)

Chinese Taipei’s Hsu Wen-Chi, thus far, has been no match for Sindhu, the Indian double Olympic medallist having taken the first game 21-10.

Dipika Pallikal Karthik and Harinder Pal Singh Sandhu make short work of their Japanese opponents 11-5, 11-5 in Pool A.

In men’s canoe double 1000m, India’s Arjun Singh and Sunil Singh Salam have picked up a bronze medal with a finish time of 3:53.329. Uzbekistan (GOLD with 3:43.796) and Kazakhstan (SILVER with 3:49.991) are the top two finishers in the event.

Tejaswin will have to be content with a 4.10 and 645 points in pole vault.

Avesh Khan gets the breakthrough for India. An outside edge flies straight into the gloves of wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma. Aasif Sheikh c Jitesh Sharma b Avesh Khan 10(6)

XXO - Tejaswin just refuses to give up. Wow! He will try to leap over 4.20 now.

Ojas Pravin Deotale gives India one more reason to celebrate as he beats Akbarali Karabayev 150-142 to make the semifinal.

Prannoy seals the deal in straight games in 25 minutes. Munkhbat goes down 9-21, 12-21 in the Round of 32.

After taking two chances each to clear 3.80 and 3.90 in pole vault, Tejaswin lands the 4.00 in one go. That will be yet another Personal Best mark for the Indian decathlete!

Deep Grace Ekka, Monika, Deepika and Vandana Katariya (brace) find themselves on the scoresheet as India leads 5-0 in hockey, with around four minutes left for the second quarter to end.

HS Prannoy, who looked a bit shaky initially, recovers well. Mongolia’s Batdavaa Munkhbat goes down 9-21 in the first game.

Tejaswin clears the 3.80 mark on his second attempt.

Rinku Singh’s unbeaten 15-ball 37 provides India a late push on the difficult track. It has been a tale of two left-handers today!

117-all after End 4 and 147-all after the fifth! A thrilling affair in Hanzghou culminates in a shoot-off, where Abhishek Verma emerges winner with a 10+.

Soniya Devi Phairembam, participating in the women’s kayak single 500m final, finishes second last. Her timing of 2:14.555 is 15.624 off the gold medal mark.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, taken by surprise by a full toss, misfires to the man stationed at short third. Jaiswal c Abinash Bohara b Dipendra Singh 100(49)

South Korea takes an hour and 12 minutes to beat India 21-16, 16-21, 21-16 in Group B men’s quadrant prelims.

Yashasvi, thinking he had already reached his 100 off 47 deliveries, raised his bat to the crowd, before proceeding to kiss his helmet. He had to wait for another delivery to finally reach the mark when replays ruled the previous shot a four.

India has got its kabaddi campaign rolling in impressive fashion at the Asian Games, with a convincing 37-point win over Bangladesh in a pool match. As the most accomplished team in this sport at the Asiad, India displayed a clinical approach and appears poised to reclaim the gold medal from Iran.

Tejaswin Shankar continues to shine, recording another PB. On this occasion, it has come in discus where his second throw lands 39.28m away.

Find below the overall Decathlon standings thus far:

Dipendra gets rid of Tilak. Another short delivery, and this time an inside edge, while the batter tries to pull the ball across, sees it crash onto the stumps. Tilak Varma b Sompal Kami 2(10)

Jitesh survives for a mere four deliveries before handing a simple catch off a top-edge to bowler Lamichhane. Jitesh c and b Lamichhane 5(4)

Muhammed Anas Yahiya, Nihal Joel William, Amoj Jacob, and Mijo Chacko Kurian make the final with a 3:03.81s performance. That’s four seconds off the Asian record, which India itself set in August’s Budapest Worlds. Among the four, only Amoj and Anas were a part of the team, which had created history.

Qatar and Thailand earn a direct qualification too.

A 36.54m effort from Tejaswin to start things off... That places him third after the first round of throws below China’s Sun Qihao and Suttisak Singkhon of Thailand.

Yashasvi Jaiswal looks to break the shackles... Gets enough elevation but not the required distance as Rohit Paudel, at deep midwicket, pouches a sitter. Nepal finally gets to celebrate! Gaikwad c Rohit Paudel b Dipendra Singh 25(23)

Harmilan Bains will meet Chanda in the final. With a 2:06.62 finish, she tops the field in Heat 2. Bahrain’s Marta Hirpato Yota (2:06.85) also gets a ‘Q’.

A 2:07.38 from Chanda in the women’s 800m sees her earn a direct qualification for the final from Heat 1. China’s Rao Xinyu, second-placed with a 2:07.77 finish, is the other direct qualifier.

Tejaswin’s 14.78s finish in 110m hurdles sees him collect 876 points. With 5136 points after six events, the Indian decathlete continues to lead the pack.

Even as the kabaddi boys continue to build on the lead, going past the 50-point mark with just about five minutes left on the clock, the cricket team, especially Yashasvi, refuse to budge from their fourth-gear mode. The PowerPlay score is 63/0.

Sachin’s two raid points see India’s score move up to 43 in kabaddi. The Bangladesh team has just entered the double digits.

With a 149-143 win over Amaya, Aditi sets up a semifinal date with Jyothi.

Jaiswal makes his intentions known. Karan KC has just been hammered for maximums off consecutive deliveries. The first, bowled right in the slot, was dispatched over long-on, while the second was gloriously pulled through backward square. IND 21/0 after 2 overs.

The Indian men’s sepaktakraw team meets South Korea in Group B Prelims shortly. Stay tuned for the scores.

With three ends done, Aditi is in the lead. With 89 points in the bag, she has a five-point cushion.

Jyothi Surekha Vennam just manages to pip her Kazakh opponent to progress to the semifinals later today. She will face the winner of the contest between compatriot Aditi Gopichand Swami and Amaya Amparo Cojuangco.

Having just picked up a bonus point, India, leading 22-9, takes a timeout with only 58 seconds remaining for the conclusion of the first half. The message, probably, would be to take things a bit easy hereon.

Four ends done, it doesn’t look like either of the athletes are willing to let go of an inch of space. It’s neck-and-neck in favour of Jyothi for now (117-116).

India: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh

Nepal: Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh (wk), Sundeep Jora, Gulsan Jha, Rohit Paudel (c), Kushal Malla, Dipendra Singh Airee, Sompal Kami, Karan KC, Abinash Bohara, Sandeep Lamichhane

It’s quarterfinal time at the Fuyang Yinhu Sports Centre. In compound women’s individual, Jyothi will get things rolling as she takes on Kazakhstan’s Adel Zhexenbinova.

The Indian kabaddi team has just inflicted the first all out on Bangladesh! The board reads 11-2 in India’s favour at the moment.

The Indian men’s cricket team will kick-start its Asian Games campaign against Nepal on Tuesday in the quarterfinals of the cricket tournament.

The Men in Blue are playing the quarterfinals directly owing to their superior international ranking. Nepal defeated Maldives by 138 runs in its Group A match to qualify for the quarterfinals.

The Indian men’s side, making its Asian Games debut, will look to repeat the heroics of the women’s side, which won a gold by defeating Sri Lanka in the final by 19 runs while defending a small total of 117 runs.

It was also the debut of the women’s team in the continental event.
