Looks like Mixed doubles match is about to start.. Lets cheer...

They mentioned started time 19.00 Uk time but it actually began 21.00..any logic?

This Ram Rajeev guy has partnered Bopanna in 2013.. Shit they both know each other..

It got delayed because of earlier matches taking longer than expected. There may have been some rain too.

There is no sport culture in countries like India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh etc . People dont take sport as profession to give full commitment..Sports is hobby and also limited to very few sports like cricket hockey, tennis etc .. You cannot be good in those sports which you dont even understand when watch it for example chinese will not be competitive in cricket as never played it and has no interest in it..Most of these sports gymnastics, swimmers, sailing, diving etc need proper infrastructure and you cannot do good in these games without playing and practising it from young age

Same as China 70 years ago, but things can be changed.

India continues to hold their serve 4-2 now in first set

@Levina you watching?!?!

Ram Rajeev

I actually ran into him when I was in the US at a hotel. Friendly humble guy!

UPDATE: India have another break point...can they convert?

Looks like a no for the time being, we are at deuce

Another break point for India

India take a break point!!!!

India at 5 - 2 in first set and will now serve for the set.

Things looking great for India!

2nd break point........ Huraayyyyyy

Madam Sania has 1st set in her hands.. Can she do it ?

Same as China 70 years ago, but things can be changed.

yes sure but first step would be changing the mindset of people so that they take all these different sports seriously ..They should introduce all these sports from school age etc

India claim to be major economy and should have no excuse of lack of investment in sports and providing proper infrastructure

 

[Nilgiri]

India about to take the set here with two set points.

India take the 1st set 6 -2 Quite comfortably!

 

[Abba_Dabba_Jabba]

Madamji did it once again... First set to India.. One set away from 1st medal.. Prayers

 

[Nilgiri]

Bopanna service and court dynamic is quite excellent it must be said.

Sania just lofts one above the opponents yet again.

Haha!

 

[Proudpakistaniguy]

It seem Bahbi will take it easily..even UK team was more competitive than this american

 

[Nilgiri]

UPDATE: Both sides hold service. 1 -1 in 2nd set

It seem Bahbi will take it easily..even UK team was more competitive than this american

Venus looks a bit tired to be honest.

Sometimes luck of the draw is like that.

One of our best boxers unfortunately had to meet a cuban gold medallist in the first round itself


UPDATE:
India has to survive a break point here....

and they do...deuce

....but US eventually gets break point

Cmon India!

 

[Abba_Dabba_Jabba]

Trouble.... c'mon guys..

Avoid tie breaker, Indians are never good at tie breakers..
