2016 Rio Olympic Games : Day-4 (14th August) - Group Stage Match & Mixed Doubles Quarterfinals

16-all. Hello Saina you ok?

 

Wow looks like injury is horrible to happen in times like this during Olympics. Too bad. Guess the career of a player is in jeopardy once that player is injured. Too bad for this to happen during Olympics time.

 

Game points for LCW.

 

Sincerely hope that Saina is okay. She is not playing to her usual self ability today. Poor girl.

 

Nice DTL.

 

Saina wake up now. Don't sleep girl.

 

GP

 

LCW takes the opening game. Not under much pressure.

 

If LCW plays like that, I think Chou Tien Chen can trouble him in the QFs, should they meet.

 

Wow the Ukrainian girl takes G1

 

He's playing 70% maybe.

 

Ulitina, the underdog, is giving her all with nothing to lose, and it's working for her in G1.

 

First the horrible ankle injury before Olympics. Next the serious thigh calf injury during Olympics time. What can be worse?

 

Ukraine winning? I tuned out because it looked like it would be a cake-walk for Saina. Time to tune in again!

 

There goes Saina. Losing her game 1 just like that. Too bad. 17-21. I am expecting her to do a better job. Too bad. Can she win today? Oh dear me.

 

Yes Ukraine is winning. She won first set 21-17 which really surprises me.

 

The Ukrainian is surprisingly better than we expected, that's the Olympics for you. I think her height and reach is also causing Saina some problems.

 

Utilina leading in sat 2 now 5-4. What can be worse for Saina? What a pity girl indeed.

 

You are right.

 

the underdog players are playing their heart out in olympics, the seeded players feeling the pressure to perform
