RIO DE JANEIRO -- Indian archers will look to make amends for their flop show in London when they start their campaign at the 31st Olympic Games here on Friday.The countrys archers have participated in the Olympics since the sport was introduced in Seoul (1988). They have competed in six editions -- barring Sydney (2000) when they failed to qualify -- with their best performance being the quarterfinal finish by the womens team in Athens (2004) and Beijing (2008).By the 2012 Olympics, Deepika Kumari had become world No.1, along with her team, and expectedly the hopes from her skyrocketed. But the hype fizzled out in a few seconds when Deepika lost to Amy Oliver of Great Britain, while the team -- which also had Bombayla Devi Laishram and Chekrovolu Swuro -- went down to Denmark, both in first rounds.The cold weather, viral fever and the Olympic pressure factor was blamed for the poor performance. After the London debacle, the archers rankings dropped and Deepika battled inconsistent form that even forced her out of the team for some time in 2015.But she peaked at the right time to help the womens team clinch the quota berth in World Championship last year. That was followed by an individual qualification in the mens section. The womens team is now ranked fourth, while Deepika has slipped out of the top-10.In Rio, the womens team of Deepika, Bombayla and Laxmirani Majhi will be a strong contender for a medal.On Friday, the archers will begin their campaign with the mens individual and team ranking rounds in the morning. Atanu Das will be in action in the mens individual event. The womens individual and team ranking rounds will take place in the afternoon. Patrick Peterson Color Rush Jersey .

MASON, Ohio -- Rain repeatedly interrupted the first full day of matches at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati.Stan Wawrinka -- one of those who could benefit from an open mens bracket without Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer -- lost the first set to wild card Jared Donaldson 6-2, but he led the second set 3-0 when play was suspended for the night because of rain.One of the few who was able to complete his match on Tuesday was John Isner. The American overcame two delays while beating Fabio Fognini 6-3, 6-2, aided by the Italians four double faults in the second set.The mens bracket provides an opportunity for second-tier players to move up for a week. Defending champion Federer and top-ranked Djokovic are sidelined by injuries, and Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal are still recovering from hectic weeks at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The four of them have accounted for 54 of the last 58 Masters titles.Theres a chance for somebody else to get a Masters trophy on Sunday.I played 23 hours in seven days, Nadal said Tuesday, referring to his Olympics stay. My body is a little bit tired. Obviously, its going to be tough.Nadal had a lot of fun in Rio but came away running on fumes.The 30-year-old Spaniard missed two months with an injured left wrist and returned in Rio, where he reached the semifinals in singles -- a good showing, given how much time he was away from the court. Hes hoping to get in more matches in Cincinnati to get ready for the U.S. Open without aggravating the wrist.It was not an easy injury, and it still bothers me a little bit, Nadal said.Murrayy beat Juan Martin del Potro in a wild, four-set match for his second Olympic gold medal on Sunday, leaving him drained.dddddddddddd Then came the flight directly to Cincinnati -- yes, he brought his medal along.The match against Juan Martin was so up and down, so emotional, physical, Murray said. It was a really, really hard match, one of the hardest matches Ive played.Doing the long trip straight afterward was tough. Hopefully, it will be able to rain in the next few days.Angelique Kerber has a chance to become No. 1 in Cincinnati.Two-time defending champion Serena Williams pulled out of the tournament with an inflamed shoulder, making it possible for Kerber to overtake her in the rankings. She would move up to No. 1 by winning the tournament for the first time.Williams has been in the top spot for 183 consecutive weeks, the second longest such stretch in WTA history.Theres a long way to go, Kerber said Tuesday. Im not thinking about that. Somebody told me about that, but Im trying not to listen.Everyone dreams about being No. 1. It would be amazing. I would give everything to reach that goal.Kerber opens play on Wednesday trying to extend a successful season that includes the Australian Open championship, a Wimbledon final and a silver medal in Rio.That was a special week, Kerber said of the Olympics. I had a lot of experiences. The atmosphere was different than a normal tournament. I had a great week. I won a medal. That was my goal. ' ' '
