ndia’s Divij Sharan made a Ifirst-round exit from the US Open with partner Hugo Nys after losing in straight sets to Robert Carballes Baena and Federico Delbonis, here. The Indian and his partner from Monaco lost 4-6, 4-6 to the players, who are both ranked outside top-100 bracket. Sharan and Nys did not get any break-point in the 72- minute clash while their rivals broke them once each in both the sets to move to the next round. “We probably needed to put more pressure on their ser- vice games. Delbonis made some really good returns in the games we got broken. It’s obviously a tough loss as I would have liked to do better in the last slam of the year,” Divij said. “I’ll look to regroup and work towards doing well in the remaining tournaments of the year.” This is the second time this season that left-handed Sharan has made a first-round exit from a Grand Slam, losing at the same stage at the Australian Open also. The result means that he is likely to drop a rung to 48 when the new rankings will be issued after the conclusion of the last Grand Slam of the season. Reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals in 2018 remains his best show at the Majors. Rohan Bopanna and Leander Paes are also in the men’s doubles draw with their respective partners. Bopanna and his Canadian partner Denis Shapovalov are up against French fourth seeds Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut. Paes has paired with Guillermo Duran and they will open their campaign against Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic and Norway’s Casper Ruud.   " #$ %" &'()'*  7:

ustralia captain Tim Paine believes Steve ASmith’s return could be decisive in their quest to retain the Ashes. Paine’s men were on the brink of going 2-0 up with two to play only for England all- rounder Ben Stokes’ stunning 135 not out to condemn them to a dramatic one-wicket loss in the third Test at Headingley last week. Smith, however, missed that match with concussion after being hit by a 92mph bouncer from Jofra Archer in the drawn second Test at Lord’s. The 30-year-old is now set to play in next week’s fourth Test at Old Trafford provided he comes through this three-day tour fixture unscathed. “Without Steve Smith playing I don’t think we were given any chance of winning that Test match, I think most people wrote us off in that Test, so we’re tracking ok,” Paine told reporters after Thursday’s close. Australia were 77-0 with- out loss at stumps in reply to Derbyshire’s first-innings 172. Marcus Harris was 52 not out and stand-in skipper Usman Khawaja, playing against his old county, 18 not out. Both batsmen have strug- gled in the Ashes and one could make way for Smith while the other partners David Warner at the top of the order at Old Trafford. “Steve Smith is going to come back in and play. So obviously someone from the last Test is going to miss out,” said Paine, who replaced Smith as Australia captain after the ball-tampering scandal. “There’s no doubt about that. You have the best player in the world coming back into your line-up.” He insisted Australia had “moved on” from a remarkable reverse at Headingley. “We had some honest con- versations and we now we made some errors as a team and as individuals, but we can’t be holding onto that,” he said. “We’ve moved on, we’re ready for Manchester, the group’s in a really good spot,” added Paine, looking to lead Australia to their first Ashes series win in England for 18 years. Stokes was dropped late in his Headingley innings by Harris. And with England needing to two to win, Stokes might have been lbw to off-spinner Nathan Lyon — who the ball before had missed a clear chance to run out Jack Leach. But umpire Joel Wilson ruled in England’s favour and, although replays suggested Stokes would have been lbw, Australia were unable to chal- lenge the decision as they had run out of reviews. Paine, asked how Australia could best dismiss all-rounder Stokes, who also made 115 not out at Lord’s, replied: “Hold our chances would be a good start. “I think Nathan Lyon in the last two Tests alone would have got him out five or six times had we held our catch- es or referred our lbws.”
