Kadhe and Prashanth shock second seeds to make Swiss Open semis
New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI) India's Arjun Kadhe and Vijay Sundar Prashanth knocked out second seeds Jakob Schnaitter and Mark Wallner in straight sets to advance to the semifinals of the Swiss Open in Gstaad, Switzerland. The unseeded Indians shocked the higher-ranked Germans 6-3 7-6(5) in the quarterfinals of the Euro 596,035 clay court tournament. Kadhe has one ATP title under his belt, winning the Almaty ATP 250 event last year with compatriot Rithvik Bollipalli. The Indian pair got an early break to go up 3-1 but dropped serve to let go of the advantage. However, they put the Germans under the pump one more time to take a 5-3 lead and earn an opportunity to nose ahead in the quarterfinal contest. Kadhe came out to serve for the opening set and did the job after losing two points. Both pairs played solid service games in the second set. There was no break of serve and the set was stretched to a tie-breaker. The Indians trailed 0-3 after Kadhe lost both points on his serve but they roared back to make it even-steven as Schnaitter also lost consecutive points on his serve. view comments First Published: July 17, 2025, 17:45 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

"We will take a decision with regard to the speaker's hearing in a parliamentary meeting to be held on July 11 (today)," he added. A reliable source seeking anonymity told The Express Tribune that a majority of the PTI's MPAs are willing to avail this opportunity, place their case before the speaker and ask him whether they could be suspended in response to their protest during the CM's speech. Speaker Khan has also received references for disqualification of the MPAs under Article 63(2) read with Article 113 of the Constitution and it is mandatory for him to decide these references within 30 days.
