Wimbledon 2025 had all the ingredients to be an unforgettable tournament for Indian tennis fans, but for many viewers, the experience was nothing short of frustrating. JioHotstar, which held the exclusive streaming rights, failed to live up to expectations, leaving fans disappointed and vocal about their dissatisfaction online.

Instead of enjoying a world-class Grand Slam, subscribers battled endless buffering, low video quality, and frequent audio-video sync issues. The platform also faced backlash for abruptly switching away from ongoing matches to cover other games, disrupting the flow of live viewing. For a sport that thrives on momentum and emotional engagement, these interruptions left a sour taste for tennis lovers.

The disappointment was especially sharp because earlier this year, JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar merged to form JioHotstar, a union that promised to bring together the best of both platforms. Subscribers were expecting a robust, smooth, and premium-quality sports streaming experience, but the Wimbledon coverage told a different story.

Now, as JioHotstar gears up to stream the US Open 2025, the stakes are higher than ever. The platform has once again secured exclusive rights for India, which means millions of tennis fans will rely on it to catch every rally, every set, and every decisive match point. But the lingering memory of Wimbledon’s technical glitches is casting a shadow over the excitement.

For Indian tennis fans, the US Open is more than just another sporting event. It is a chance to witness epic battles between the world’s best players on one of the biggest stages in tennis. They want uninterrupted coverage, crystal-clear visuals, and reliable streaming without the fear of the screen freezing at match point.

If JioHotstar wants to win back the trust of its audience, it must treat the US Open as an opportunity for redemption. This means addressing the issues that plagued Wimbledon, upgrading its technical infrastructure, and ensuring stable streaming across devices and networks. A flawless broadcast could not only restore faith but also strengthen JioHotstar’s position as the go-to destination for live sports in India.

The ball is now firmly in JioHotstar’s court. Whether the US Open 2025 becomes a triumphant comeback or another missed opportunity will depend entirely on how well the platform prepares for the challenge ahead.
