However, up next for her is a tough opponent. Reigning world champion PV Sindhu holds a 4-2 edge over the Japanese and has won their last three matches. In fact, the World No. 6 dropped a game only once in those meetings, which itself demonstrates her mastery over Takahashi. After facing a struggle since her World Championships win last August, the Rio Olympic silver medallist finally looks to be getting back to form since the new season started....

Saina starts her campaign against Japan’s Sayaka Takahashi, while Sindhu will face another Japanese, Aya Ohori. It seems to be an easy tie for both the Indian shuttlers after their performance at the Malaysia Masters last week. However, the Indonesia Masters could very well see only one Indian female shuttler going past the second round in the women’s singles. In the men’s singles category, after losing in the very first match of the year at the Malaysia Masters, Kidambi Srikanth will try to better his result in Jakarta....

As the number of temporary housing requests grows, an already tight inventory decreases, meaning foreman and upper-level management struggle to find adequate housing within their budgets and timelines. With workers packed into hotels, without kitchens or personal space, job sites can suffer. Teams who treat housing as unimportant may find it harder to retain talent once they experience living conditions for extended projects. There are ways, however, to better house crews, and ensure accommodations meet the measure of their crucial work....

Iniesta will be remembered as one of the most important players in Spain’s football history, such is the impact he has had since making his debut in 2006. Ahead of Friday’s friendly clash with Germany, Iniesta has played 123 times for Spain, a record bettered by only Andoni Zubizarreta, Xavi, Sergio Ramos and Iker Casillas. Should Iniesta feature in all of Spain’s pre-World Cup friendly games and help them to the final, he could surpass Xavi as Spain’s third most-capped player in the showpiece, before probably signing off at the age of 34....
