Published by Webster

The main draw for the WTT Star Contender Chennai 2026 has handed Indian contenders a challenging route, with several top players placed in the same quarter of the men’s singles competition. Last edition semi-finalist Manav Thakkar, seasoned campaigner Sathiyan G and WTT Feeder Vadodara 2026 champion Manush Shah have all received first-round byes.

Manav and Manush could meet in the pre-quarterfinals should both clear their second-round assignments. Tenth seed Sathiyan is also in the same quarter and may face compatriot Harmeet Desai in the Round of 16, provided Harmeet overcomes eighth seed Eduard Ionescu in his second-round encounter. Sathiyan’s own path is equally demanding. He is projected to face Korea Republic’s Lim Jonghoon, a former world top-10 singles player and current world No. 1 in mixed doubles, in the second round. If the Indian quartet progress as scheduled, the country will be assured of at least …

To the rest of the world, he is a heavyweight superstar from Azerbaijan. Across India’s fabled mud pits, though, he’s simply “Georgi Georgian”. Not that Giorgi Meshvildishvili, who changed his nationality, would mind. Earlier this month, Giorgi was crowned European champion in the 125-kg freestyle category. The continental gold came months after he won a bronze at the Paris Olympics. And while he is still basking in the afterglow of the two medals, the 32-year-old can’t stop gushing about the other prizes he’s won in India — a tractor, a bull and a Bullet motorcycle. “Very, very special,” he says. Story continues below this ad Giorgi Meshvildishvili in action. (Special arrangement) Before he found his way to international podiums, Giorgi cut his teeth on mud pits in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra. “I came to India three times and my experience was very, very nice,” Giorgi tells The Indian Express. “The dangals were extraordinary. I played against Jassa Patti, Sikandar (Sheikh) and Pritpal (Phagwara)… all of them very, very strong.” Jaskanwar Singh Gill, known as …

Castlevania: Nocturne’s new season 2 trailer pits vampires against a dragon

Castlevania: Nocturne’s new season 2 trailer pits vampires against a dragon

Published by Webster

Though the sun is shining bright in Nocturne’s new trailer, the fact that vampire god queen Erzsebet Báthory (Franka Potente) is still out there plotting has Annette (Thuso Mbedu) convinced that all hope is lost. Annette’s feelings seem reasonable considering how Erzsebet’s right hand woman Drolta Tzuentes (Elarica Johnson) is back in action despite appearing to be killed by Alucard (James Callis) in Nocturne’s first season. But with Alucard now working with Richter Belmont (Edward Bluemel), Richter’s grandfather Juste (Iain Glen), and a hardened Maria Renard (Pixie Davies), the vampires won’t exactly have an easy time plunging the world into darkness. The trailer features a handful of shots — Maria is finally going to summon her dragon — that make Nocturne’s second season look like it’s trying to top the first in terms of utterly batshit action. And while the trailer doesn’t exactly spell out just what Erzsebet’s up to this time around, we won’t have to wait long to find out for ourselves because Castlevania: Nocturne is set to return on January 16th.
