    I watched Saina Nehwal on the Official Streaming Link for India. They covered all 3 badminton courts and showed many other sports. Saina's video is available now.

    I said "top singles", only Venus may fall into that category and she is not the old Venus.
    There is no Federer, no Murray, no Djokovic.
    One can't expect a better draw than this till finals.

    Wait wait wait!!!
    Is that Andy Murray??? I thought it was J Murray!
    Now this is tough!!!

    Yes Watson and A Murray! That'll be tough.
    Well Gagan performed as I expected, actually I was expecting the dark horse Chain Singh to do some miracle, alas!
    Atanu really impressed but then, that "close match/well played" thing has to be converted into "close victory" we missed so many "close" ones.

    BTW really disappoint by JG/AP, although it was more or less clear that they'll loose after the g1, I really expected them to qualify though. #MiserableRioOG

    Very disappointed with the way Atanu lost.
    I felt he choked in the 3rd set.
    I really thought he was the only guy who can beat Ku Bon Chan, who eventually won the gold.

    Disappointment in shooting again.
    Only one event left for Gagan and Chain.

    Mairaj and Gurpreet are both at 10th position after day-1 qualification and both will have to give their best on day-2 to get into top 6 and reach finals.

    This time we had 12 shooters competing for 18 medals!
    And what a tragedy it will be if we return empty handed in shooting.


    But at last a little glimmer of hope.
    Rohan/Sania reached semis. Rohan's serve and Sania's return were impressive.
    Even R.Nadal/G.Muguruza have withdrawn.
    I am expecting gold.

    Good news from boxing as well.
    Vikas reached quarters. One more win and a medal is guaranteed.
    I hope Manoj makes it as well.

    Good luck to India's hockey team.
    The results in group stage weren't very impressive.
    But even in the the champions league we barely qualified and then reached finals.

    Star Sports is limited to 4 channels and what the broadcaster shows.
    You get access to 10+ sports, all three badminton channels and any live sport of your choice. You can also see videos of anything you missed.
    So yes it is better.

    It works for me.
    Give it some time.
    It takes a while to load.

    Works fine for me. It should ask you to store information on your computer. I have not installed the hotstar app. Did you copy and paste the link?

    This is a disaster.
    They lost after a good start.
    This is why Sania should have chosen Leander.
    Let's hope they get the bronze at least.

    Even Mairaj and Gurpreet lost narrowly.

    I am finding it hard to be positive any more.
    Still, I wish good luck to Dipa, Gagan, Chain, Sania/Rohan and everyone else participating today.
