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

one Garbine Muguruza the

previous day.

By contrast, Pavlyuchenkova`s

gruelling three-set semi-final win

over Angelique Kerber

appeared to have taken its toll

and she struggled with

accuracy, registering three

double faults in the set.

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."

were great personalities who remained far away from corridors of power but lived

every moment for the people.

The Prime Minister said, on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Sardar Patel on

31st October, Run for Unity will be held. He said, it should be organized in every city

and town on a very large scale to promote the mantra of unity.

Shri Modi said, unity in diversity is India's specialty and citizens especially the

youth should experience it for the development of their personality. He said, people

generally don't prefer moving around the country and travel around the world.

He said, Mahatma Gandhi, Lokmanya Tilak, Swami Vivekanand and former President

APJ Abdul Kalam toured India and got inspired to do and die for the country.

The Prime Minister said, there will be a value addition in tourism only if people travel

not only as visitors but also like a student making efforts to assimilate, understand

and adapt. He gave his own example of visiting more than 500 districts of the country

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

#Incredible India. The Prime Minister also urged people to enlist seven best tourist

destinations of their states and if possible they must visit the places.

The Prime Minister also congratulated Lt Swati Mahadik and Nidhi Dubey, wife of

Late Col Santosh Mahadik and Late Naik Mukesh Dubey who joined the Indian

Army recently.

He said, Col Mahadik and Naik Dubey sacrificed their lives for the nation and their

wives showing grit, determination and patriotism joined the Army despite difficulties.

Speaking on 'Mann Ki Baat programme', which is completing three years, Shri Modi

said, it gave him a unique opportunity to get connected with various feelings and

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

and the nation is blessed with the strength to face any challenge.

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

nefarious export of terrorism. She said, Prime Minister

Shri Narendra Modi had offered the hand of peace and

friendship and Pakistan's Prime Minister must answer

Describing terrorism as an "existentialist danger" to

mankind, Smti Swaraj wondered how the international

community will fight the menace if the UN Security

Council cannot agree on the listing of terrorists.
