first doubles win at Laver CupPrague, Sept 24
Rafael Nadal and Roger
Federer took Team Europe
to within two wins of lifting the
Laver Cup on Saturday after
they played doubles together
for the first time, but ruled out
a full-time partnership on the
tour. The world's highest
ranking duo handed Team
Europe, skippered by Bjorn
Borg, a 9-3 lead over Team
World, captained by John
McEnroe, after two days of
action in Prague.
After Nadal and Federer had
won their singles rubbers, all
eyes at Prague's sold-out O2
Arena were then on the two
legends who played on the
same side of the net for the
first time in careers which
have stretched the best part

By contrast, Pavlyuchenkova`s
gruelling three-set semi-final win

and she struggled with

of two decades.
They started the doubles
against Sam Querrey and
Jack Sock on a high, earning
a break in the first set to win
6-4. They visibly enjoyed the
experience, with Federer
laughing off a massive air shot
halfway through the set.
However, they were in far
more serious mood in the
second set as both lost their
serve, allowing the American
pair to level with a 6-1 win.
Much to their rel ief , the
world`s top two players, with
35 Grand Slam singles titles
between them, regained their
composure in time to sweep
their rivals 10/5 in a super
t ie-break. But they both
denied planning a future as a
doubles pair, saying it was
"not a good idea."

and said his experience is now coming very handy and proving very useful in
shouldering the responsibility as Prime Minister.
Shri Modi urged people not to go out just for a change but to internalize diversities
of millions of denizens of India to enrich their lives. He asked people to share their
experiences, photographs on MyGov and Narendra Modi App using hashtag

positive energy of the country. He said, people send their ideas, experiences and
feelings to him for Mann Ki Baat which reflects their minds, expressions and
expectations.
The Prime Minister said, he has tried to focus on people in the 'Mann ki Baat'
programme in the last three years keeping it away from political hues. He said, social
scientists, universities, research scholars, media experts will undertake its analysis
and highlight it's every aspect, positive as well as negative.
Shri Modi also said, people's interest have increased in Khadi after it was discussed
in one of the previous episodes of 'Mann Ki Baat'. He said, sale of khadi has increased
and poor man's household has directly got connected to employment.
The Prime Minister mentioned about Sewapuri Khadi Ashram in Varanasi which was
reopened creating new employment opportunities after 26 years. He said, the reference
of 'Selfie With Daughter' in 'Mann ki Baat' became a big campaign not only in India
but in the whole world. Greeting citizens on the pious occasion of Navratri, Shri
Modi conveyed his best wishes and prayed to Ma Shakti to let the country attain
newer heights so that the desires and expectations of all the countrymen get fulfilled

is fighting against poverty, but Pakistan is fighting
against India through spreading terror.
Speaking in Hindi for the second consecutive year at
the annual UNGA session, Smti Swaraj said, India has
risen despite being the principal destination of Pakistan's

Describing terrorism as an "existentialist danger" to
mankind, Smti Swaraj wondered how the international

Council cannot agree on the listing of terrorists.
