Day 3: India's Schedule/Day 2: Final Report

A lot of events (particularly Tennis) got washed away today due to heavy rains. Most of the matches were delayed or postponed include Men's Doubles of India's Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupati.

Now GOOD news from the day is Sania Mirza and Sunitha Rao got a Walk Over in their first round match. But the BAD news is most probably their next match will be against top seed from Russia Svetlana Kuznetsova and Dinara Safina.

Badminton
On this front both the athletes Saina Nehwal and Anup Sridhar won their respective matches. Saina's next round match is against 4th seed Chen Wang from Hong Kong. No need to say this is going to be really tough opponent to beat. Next opponent of Anup is going to be Shoji Sato of Japan. This shoould no be much difficult for Anup as he is higher ranked than Shoji.

Rowing
In Rowing the India's team comprising of Devender Kumar Khandwal and Manjeet Singh were last in their heat and failed to qualify. Lets see if Bajranglal Takhar can make country proud tomorrow(or rather today) in Men's Single Sculls.

Swimming
Virdhawal Khade failed to qualify for the semis in the Men's 200mFreestyle. Fate of Rehan Jehangir Poncha will be decided tomorrow in Men's 200m Butterfly.

Boxing
Anthresh Lalit Lakra will be competitng in the Men's feather weight category (57Kg).
