Potential semi-final opponent (US lady)'s match on. US lady looks strong!

Not feeling hopeful of Nisha. Won only through challenges and bare minimum margin against rookie Ukrainian.

Can’t blame Media everytime. People complain India doesn’t give importance to other sports other than cricket and how Indian team under performs etc, and now when they are giving inportance we are saying media shouldn’t hype. Media is doing fine in this. Players are reaching q/fs, they will cover them. No two ways about it.

 

 

We are just pissed they lost, media is fine. 

Yeah. At least during Olympics, Asian and CW games let these athletes get some coverage!

She has beaten this North Korean lady in April. Won't be surprised if she loses though. If she makes it to the semis - good chance at bronze even if she loses to the US lady. Her Polish opponent is poor.

Prannoy late bloomer and Praneeth, Srikanth never had high ceilings.

Praneeth world championship bronze medallist. Srikanth deteriorated after injury

All inconsistent. Srikanth was amazing. Injury did him in though. Really thought we had a world champion in him.

If Nisha can win this she can beat the Polish lady for a bronze for sure. That lady was completely winded.

more like quick thinking on the fly. make a swot analysis in the mind. this is what great players do. for players of sachin's caliber, he will have the fielders map in his brain everytime he faces a ball and play appropriately

But if opponent is equally good what are your options. That is where luck comes in. If the opponent is at his best you don't stand a chance

I think you did not understand my point., Media coverage is good. Hyping is wrong.

Not from what you say. 

 

You may know Gopichand - does he know you though?
