Three months after they last competed internationally - at the 2016 Olympics, Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa have decided to part ways for the second time in their career. On Monday, Gutta was back on the court at Hyderabads Gopichand Academy, where the national camp is underway. Ashwini Ponnappa, was also practicing, but a couple of courts away.The two, who formed easily the most successful doubles partnership in Indian badminton, had previously split back in 2013, before reuniting a few months later after limited success with other partners. This time around Gutta says the split of the pair ranked 26 in the world, is likely to be permanent. I wont be playing any more with Ashwini. I wont be playing womens doubles either, said Gutta, who first paired up with Ponnappa just before the Commonwealth Games in 2010.Gutta said her decision to end her womens doubles career stemmed from the one she made to split with Ponnappa, with whom she featured in two Olympics, won a Commonwealth Games gold, bronze medals at the world championships and Asian Games and two more bronze at the Uber Cup team championships.I am not at the stage of my career where I want to groom a junior, said the 32-year-old.Gutta will now play mixed doubles with Manu Attri, who featured in the mens doubles event at the Rio Games. Ponnappa will continue her womens doubles career, partnering Sikki Reddy.While hinting at unnecessary external factors, Gutta says she knew that the partnership had run its course at the Rio Olympics, where she and Ponnappa exited following three straight defeats in the group stage. I realized that Ashwini and I werent growing as a pair. I felt that we were stagnating. Whenever I expected a lot, the results were not coming. So I thought, why dont I let her play with someone else? It was a very difficult decision to make, but one that had to be made. The parting she says was a mutual one. Ashwini and I have had many good times and I would like to keep it like that, she said.Meanwhile, Gutta said she had always enjoyed playing mixed doubles. She had had plenty of success in her partnership with V Diju, which ended following the 2013 India Open Super Series. With Diju she reached a peak world ranking of 6, qualified for the London Olympics and also recorded the first appearance by any Indian in the final of the Super Series Masters Finals. She had, however, played the mixed event only intermittently following her partnership with Diju. I kind of missed playing mixed doubles. Ive enjoyed my phase of playing womens doubles. So why dont I play mixed doubles again, she said.Attri and Gutta have played together before - at the 2013 French Open - where they lost in the opening round. Attri, now 23, is far more experienced and while Gutta hasnt partnered him in any competitions since, she is confident the two can gel well. I can develop a new facet of my game.Ponnappa too will have to adapt. She has been practicing with Reddy for a little over a month now. In the past, Ponnappa would take up the running and smashing duties near the baseline while Gutta lurked menacingly at the net. Sikki likes to move as well, so it wont just be at the back of the court any more. We are still learning how to combine though, Ponnappa said.Ponappa knows it could be slow going. In the past, she was the junior partner to the more experienced Gutta. The roles will be reversed with Reddy, who at 23, is four years younger than Ponnappa.Partnerships take time to develop. Jwala had tons of experience. She shouldered the responsibility really well. And then we just clicked. With Sikki again I expect it will take a little time, she said.Ponnappa and Reddy will play their first tournament together - The Scotland Open -- in a couple of weeks. We are practicing together but we will get a lot more clarity on how we play together at a tournament, says Ponnappa. While the lightweight field at the Grand Prix event make it an ideal testing ground, Ponnappa has a bigger target. Our goal is to eventually qualify for the All England Super Series (in March) next year, she said.Gutta meanwhile hopes to return at the Macau Open Grand Prix Gold event at the end of the month but says she will likely make the Syed Modi GP Gold tournament in January next year. On the wrong side of 30, she however has more modest ambitions. I wouldnt say Im at the prime of my career. I just want to enjoy my time on the court in the last few years that I am playing. I want to start winning again and end on a positive note. she said. Terrance Ferguson Jersey . Louis Blues. Shane Hnidy joins Brian Munz for the broadcast on TSN 1290 Radio at 7pm ct.

MASON, Mich. -- A former USA Gymnastics doctor pleaded not guilty Tuesday to three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in his home with a girl under 13, charges that Michigans attorney general said are the tip of the iceberg as authorities investigate roughly 50 complaints.Larry Nassar, who was arrested Monday while running an errand at a Lansing-area tire store, was arraigned by video from jail. He was released after 10 percent of a $1 million bond was paid, more than two months after two gymnasts -- including a member of the 2000 U.S. womens Olympic team -- accused him of sexual abuse during medical treatments.Also on Tuesday, a Detroit attorney said he filed a civil lawsuit against Nassar on behalf of a Los Angeles woman who says she was sexually abused about 20 years ago during treatments when she was a 14-year-old gymnast.Its at least the third civil suit filed against Nassar.The woman filing Tuesdays lawsuit is not the girl in Michigans criminal case.Those alleged assaults against the girl occurred between 1998 and 2005, from the age of 6 until the girl was 12. She was not a gymnast, patient or family member, said Attorney General Bill Schuette.He said Nassar, a former associate professor of osteopathic medicine at Michigan State University who lives in Holt in suburban Lansing, committed predatory, menacing acts and stole this young ladys childhood.This is the tip of the iceberg, Schuette said during a news conference Tuesday.University police chief James Dunlap said his department has received roughly 50 complaints.Were dealing with decades of effort to go back and identify witnesses and to compile those for submission to the attorney generals office, he said.Ingham County 55th District Court Magistrate Mark Blumer ordered Nassar to wear an electronic tether and to surrender his passport. He also was prohibited from being present with anyone under 18, including his children, unless another adult is there.A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Dec. 15.Nassar, who could face life imprisonment if he is convicted, has denied wrongdoing.Shannon Smith, one of his lawyers, said his wife -- who was in the courtroom -- and hundreds of people support him 100 percent. We have received countless emails and communications from other doctors, physicians, physical therapists, ex-patients, ex-coworkers supporting him.Assistant state attorney general Angela Povilaitis hadd asked that bond be denied or, in the alternate, that a very high amount be imposed.dddddddddddd.She has come forward bravely to report this and to cooperate and prosecute this case, she said.Nassar was fired in September by Michigan State. In October, a former gymnast who was on the national team from 2006 to 2011 filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles, alleging Nassar repeatedly sexually abused her and renowned husband-and-wife coaches Bela and Martha Karolyi turned a blind eye to molestations.Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics, which has been named in two civil lawsuits, said previously that that it cut ties with Nassar after learning of athlete concerns about him in the summer of 2015.USA Gymnastics today learned about the charges against Dr. Larry Nassar through a media report, it said. As we previously have made clear, when USA Gymnastics first learned of athlete concerns regarding Dr. Nassar, those concerns were reported to the FBI and Nassar was dismissed from further involvement with USA Gymnastics.Detroit attorney Brian McKeen said he filed Tuesdays civil lawsuit in Ingham County.His client lived in East Lansing when she sought treatment for lower back pain in late 1996 and early 1997 from Nassar, McKeen said.This doctor used this young girls innocence and naivet? against her, McKeen said. She trusted her doctors authority when he insisted his treatments were standard procedure, but they were no more than sexual assault and abuse of a child.Smith, Nassars lawyer, had not seen the civil lawsuit Tuesday afternoon and declined to comment on it.The attorney general, who is investigating criminally at the request of the campus police, said his department is in the best position to prosecute instead of the local prosecutor because it is believed that potential crimes crossed into multiple jurisdictions in Michigan and possibly across state lines. He said his office is working with the FBI and federal prosecutors in Michigan.We are unable to comment further due to the ongoing FBI investigation and pending litigation, USA Gymnastics said.---Associated Press writer Corey Williams in Detroit contributed to this report.---Follow David Eggert on Twitter at http://twitter.com/DavidEggert00 .
