Just like the 2018 Gold Coast Games, their nemesis at the final hurdle were once again Paul Drinkhall and Liam Pitchford. In a scintillating clash, the Englishmen emerged victors 8-11, 11-8, 11-3, 7-11, 11-4 to clinch back-to-back men's doubles CWG gold.
The 27-year-old Australian downed 96th-ranked left-hander Nishioka 6-4, 6-3 for his first ATP title since capturing the 2019 Washington crown. "It's emotional for me to be back here again and claim another title," Kyrgios said. Kyrgios, who lost to Novak Djokovic last month in his first Grand Slam final, made back-to-back tour-level finals for the first time in his career and didn't allow a service break all week. "It's just very emotional for me to see where I was at last year to now. It's just an incredible transformation. "I've been in some really dark places," Kyrgios said.
Right after dominating Northern Ireland's Carly McNaul in the 50kg women's light flyweight final for a 5-0 unanimous verdict in her favour, Nikhat said, "Women's boxing is growing in India since Mary didi (Mary Kom) won a medal at the Olympics (London 2012). She has been a great inspiration for every boxer in India. I have always looked up to her and she has inspired me in so many ways. I want to enjoy this gold medal now, but Mary didi has set the path for all of us to follow."
So far, Indian athletes have won 55 medals-- 18 golds, 15 silvers and 22 bronze-- at the CWG. The Boxing gold rush for India on day 10 began with Nitu Ghanghas beating the host country's Demie-Jade Rezstan 5-0 in a unanimous points decision to win gold in the women's 48kg (Minimumweight) category, India's 14th of the campaign. In the men's 48kg-51kg (Flyweight) division, Amit Panghal took the same 5-0 route displaying clear supremacy against another English boxer, Kiaran Macdonald.
Kaia Kanepi 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 in Sunday's women's final at the ATP and WTA Washington Open. World number 60 Samsonova fired 10 aces and connected on 81.4% of her first-serve points to capture the crown after taking her only prior tour trophy at last year's German Open on Berlin grass. The 23-year-old Russian had a six-week layoff before Washington after being among Russian and Belarus players not allowed to play at Wimbledon due to the invasion of Ukraine.
For once, the Indian participants in an athletics event weren't hanging on the margins, hoping for someone in the leader pack to suddenly implode. They were the leader pack, and it felt so disbelievingly different as triple jumpers Eldhose Paul and Abdulla Aboobacker consulted among themselves around the pit, only to be finally separated by a mere 0.01 cm for gold-silver. Praveen Chitravel narrowly missed out on the bronze. As Paul and Aboobacker reposed faith in India's old-as-time sporting diversity, Annu Rani won an unprecedented bronze in the women's javelin. Sandeep Kumar won a bronze in the 10,000m walk.
Commonwealth Games on Sunday. India are also assured of at least two more medals with double Olympic medallist P Sindhu and debutant Lakshya Sen notching up contrasting wins in the semifinal stage to stay on course for maiden gold medals at the Games. Srikanth, a former world number one, made amends for his semifinal loss as he prevailed over Singapore's world number 87 Jia Heng Teh 21-15 21-18 to claim a bronze medal to go with the silver that he had won four years ago in Gold Coast.
Commonwealth Games on Monday. Seasoned paddler Achanta Sharath Kamal has set his eyes on another gold when he will be in action in the men's singles final.
