    I watched whole match. Not an injury actually. When he was 3-7 down in 2nd game, he went to umpire to tell that he wanna retire. When referee asked him, he shown his wrist of some scratch or something as reason.

    It doesn’t have to be street food.

    Brushing your teeth with water from the tap could give a potential problem.

    So today is the QF's day and to those of you who cant watch, if possible watch it on DD SPORTS YT Channel cause in India they always stream from QF round onwards on TV.

    Anyways,Puavranukroh is ready with his partner and Im glad to have been able to meet him a few minutes ago and he asked me to cheer for him !!

    Also met PVS' dad yesterday and it was my second time meeting the legend herself...Many young kids here are intrested in joining her up coming Badminton academy and she did talk about it om post match media talk yesterday.

    Good Luck everyone !!

    Yesterday was the happiest day of my life and now I've met and recieved gifts from all the Legends and GOATS and Future Legends to be, that I wished for.

    The only one left is (TTY) but I'll wait for her to win a Major tittle which I guess she will next year but even if she doesnt she is the only one of the 5 Golden Girls (PVS,CM,NO,RI) I haven't met....So hopefully someday I will meet her to gift her something I wrote for her.

    Thank you God !

    It still hurts to see vast number of seats unoccupied in the stadium on a Saturday, despite an opportunity to watch all the superstars of Indian badminton. I thought badminton in the country was popular than this

    Does Dhruv Kapila still play men double with Arjun M.R. ? Kapila is very impressive in his mixed double games.

    Thank you everyone for being with us for my home tournament...Im glad PVS won her 3rd Syed Modi tittle in my hometown and I was there cheering my lungs out with "Lets Go Sindu lets Go" and "Yass" :p

    But honestly the entire crowd was electric and this was my second time seeing her LIVE and my goodness me there was a 380 - 390 Kmph smash today by PV which literally flew the feathers out of the shuttle ...Its always mesmerizing to see the Queen play !

    I wasn't expecting the smash meter for the BWF S300 but but Im glad they got the big 4 sided screen smash speed display for S300 tourneys too, so everyone could see it and it was quite something cause even Chinese MD were really fast.

    Congrats to all the medalists
    Goodbye from Lucknow
    Take care guys
    see ya at WTF 2024:)

    Well the Finals day was packed and I dunno if you saying it cause there were few empty seats at the side row of the stadium which was because especially for India matches people left their seats to stand close to the court 1 at the top level platform and some sat on the steps...so on the semis day the attendance was a bit low but even then for Lakshya and Sindhu's match it was filled if not both sides then one side was packed.

    Also there are audience seated on both the sides of the court so what you see on TV is just one side of it but believe me it was packed and the only empty area was the practice court and players seating side which is restricted to only security,Players and Offficials.

    So you can estimate the crowd by the noise it made and Im sure its not possible with just a few people especially where I watched it from which was the players side it was packed with people and I met some who flew from far away states like Madhya Pradesh and even from cities and towns across my state of U.P like Kanpur,Gorakhpur,Varanasi also met ppl from Bangalore,Delhi,Gurgaon and Kolkata so finals day had some loyal Badminton fans.

    You also have to remember for fans to travel across and stay for entire 7 days tournament in a huge country like India is hard and expensive too so I think they book tickets and hotel in advance for Semis and Finals...therefore you see less crowd on weekdays.

    Hope it answers your question :)
