JioHotstar has turned into a major disappointment for tennis fans as the ongoing US Open is being streamed poorly on the platform. What should have been smooth live coverage has instead frustrated viewers with repeated errors and inconsistent broadcasts.
From the start of the tournament, fans have complained about faulty streams and irregular match coverage. Crucial games were either missing or replaced with the same matches shown across multiple streams. The experience has left tennis lovers in India angry and let down.
Many users pointed out that instead of showing important matches live, the platform was airing highlights of older games. Comments online called this practice unacceptable and even the worst streaming service they had seen for such a major tournament.
The backlash is not new, as JioHotstar has already faced criticism for frequent advertisements and glitches during live events. Viewers now suggest that other platforms like SonyLiv or Netflix should acquire tennis streaming rights to provide a better experience.
At this point, fans have little hope of enjoying smooth coverage of the US Open on JioHotstar. The platform continues to face heat online as frustration builds among tennis followers across India.
Pathetic coverage of the @usopen on @JioHotstar . There are 3 LIVE feeds and you are showing highlights on 2 of them when there are 2 big games LIVE now – Anisimova v Cristian on Grandstand and Altmaier v De Minaur.
Unacceptable coverage. Worst I’ve seen…#USOpen #JioHotstar pic.twitter.com/pRpKwxjlW2

This @JioHotstar coverage for #USOpen is absolutely pathetic. They stopped Noskova vs Muchova game and are streaming Sabalenka’s R1 highlights
Why the fuck would you do that??
