Badminton
Rena Wang will finally get her badminton group under way Monday morning… and she’ll finish it Monday morning. Yes, Wang is in a group with Wang Xin of China… and that’s it. So unless Rena Wang can pull off a big upset on Monday morning at 3:30 AM she will be eliminated with just a single match played.
In the men’s badminton doubles event Howard Bach and Tony Gunawan are already eliminated but will play a final match against Kawamae/Sato of Japan at 3:50 PM.
The NBC Sports Network will show the Wang-Wang match on tape delay from 6-6:30 AM. The men’s doubles match should be shown live on MSNBC from 3:45-5 PM.

Beach Volleyball
At 4 PM the men’s beach volleyball team of Josh Gibb and Sean Rosenthal will complete against Fijalek/Prudel of Poland. The US duo is in 1st in the group and the Polish team in 3rd after the first games. They could be a tough match still though as they are ranked #9 in the world.
At 6 PM Misty May-Treanor/Kerri Walsh play the #13 team Kolocova/Slukova of the Czech Republic in the group stage. The two teams are 1-2 in the group so this one will probably decide the group winner.

Tennis
It’s really unclear when the tennis will be getting going on Monday… but the site currently lists Andy Roddick as starting at 6:30 AM against Martin Klizan of Slovakia. #10 John Isner is supposed to face Malek Jaziri of Tunisia sometime on Monday as well.
In women’s singles Varvara Lepchenko should be continuing her match with Veronica Cepede Royg of Paraguay. I would imagine this should start right away at 6:30… but nothing would surprise me. Venus Williams will need to get her round of 64 match with Sara Errani of Italy in, while Serena Williams is scheduled to face Urszula Radwanska of Poland in the round of 32.
How both of those happen AND the sisters play their scheduled round of 32 doubles match with Cristea/Halep of Romania… I don’t know. So perhaps the Serena match will be on Tuesday and the doubles match will make it in on Monday.
Whatever tennis matches are shown they will be on Bravo which has all tennis coverage from 7 AM to 3 PM.
