Rookie opener Green hit a 21-ball 52, with seven fours and three sixes, to put the hosts on the defensive after Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to field first. But Green received little support from other top order batters as left-arm spinner Axar Patel, who has been India's best bowler in the three-match series, chipped away at the other end.

At the halfway point the back-to-back Olympic champion in... Читать дальше...

But everything changed in the second set as Russia's second-seeded Alexandrova dominated the former French Open champion from Latvia, who required a medical timeout at 3-0 down for a foot problem. "I think it was tough for me to start because I was really nervous and I couldn't find the rhythm in the first couple of games," said Alexandrova, 27. Читать дальше...
