Players need to do well for the state and need to perform consistently. In a meeting with the sports ministry after the Games, the federation said Mestvirishvili had ‘outlived his usefulness’ and had to be replaced. The team was to leave for the tournament on July 13 but applied for visa just three days prior to their departure. “All the participating nations will be there, so we will ensure our wrestlers get some good practice. Despite that we need to be humble because we know… that Monza is not really the best track for us.

It was a crucial tournament, which also offered Indians the chance to spar with wrestlers from other countries, including Russia, Iran and USA.

Muguruza, who won her second grand slam by winning the 2017 Wimbledon, barely broke sweat against the 31st seed as she set up a clash with Petra Kvitova.
