Melbourne [Australia], January 7 (ANI): Rafael Nadal is into the Melbourne Summer Set semi-finals following Tallon Griekspoor's withdrawal.
A foot injury forced the World No. 6's would-be opponent, Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor, to withdraw from the quarter-final on match day, gifting Nadal a free pass to the next round.
This is the Spaniard's first tournament since last year's Citi Open in Washington. Nadal defeated Ricardas Berankis 6-2, 7-5 on Thursday in the Round of 16.
He will next play Emil Ruusuvuori in the last four. Finland's top player advanced to the semi-finals with a 6-2, 6-1 victory against 24-year-old Alex Molcan. Ruusuvuori saved the two break points he faced to triumph after 68 minutes.
This will be the World No. 95's first ATP clash against Nadal, who is pursuing his 88th tour-level title. The Spaniard last lifted a trophy at last year's Internazionali BNL d'Italia in Rome. (ANI)

Ishan hoping to serve as inspirational figure to youngsters

Ishan had a tournament to remember as he emerged as India's second-highest run-getter, with a half-century in the final and two 'Player of the Match' awards against Namibia and arch-rivals Pakistan being the highlights of his campaign. Before the World Cup, Ishan made a return to the Indian set-up for the first time since 2023 after a scintillating Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), where he led Jharkhand to their maiden title as a captain, scoring 517 runs in 10 innings, with two centuries and two fifties.
