[Moxie]

Ye of little faith in my Italian no? like noone defeats Lorenzo 6 times and gets away with it. lol!
Help me I just jinxed Lorenzo may I burn in Hell!

Lorenzo is playing the best tennis he's played in ages, combined with Wimbledon. And so is FAA. We'll just see how these semis go.

Well I am proud of Lorenzo for making the SF here in the Olympics he is the first Italian man/ or woman to make the SFs for Italy at the Olympics
Good to see FAA playing well, a lot of people have written him off

Felix CANT double fault at BP at this level but it wouldn't have made a difference. Vamos Carlitos

Felix didnt play badly , Alcaraz well he was just in another 'zone'
Felix still has a chance for a medal, he will play for the Bronze medal.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW Alcaraz is one match away from doing the 'Unthinkable' winning the Channel Slam and Olympics in the same year! ( I will scout around for stats if he does the 'unthinkable)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW Felix will be playing later today for a Bronze medal in the mixed doubles!

Mens Doubles SF result,

M.Ebden/J.Peers (AUS) defeated T.Fritz/T.Paul (3) 75 62

Ebden/Peers will play against American's Ram/Krajicek in the final ( gold medal match)
Four doubles players. Singles players get a reality check this time

Well done young man,!

I've seen highlights from his match against Paul. Some shots that he is making is close to impossible, but not for him. No one stands a chance against him right now, thats how it looks to me.

edit:
Is it true what Carlos said in an interview? That for all spanish people at home in front of TVs, he will make a spectacle in the final and bring them what they want - gold!

He's got cojones.

Its amazing the medals have less value here in the states than in China, Japan or etc.

 

[Moxie]

Big hold there from Musetti. This looks like it could be a long match. Two all, and about 1/2 hour in.

Do they? I think it depends on the sport.

Musetti attempts the dropshot, down on setpoint/breakpoint and fails. Not a wise choice.

His bigger mistake was hitting a game point smash straight back to Novak. But Novak gifts the break in the first game of the 2nd.

I only catched setpoint and the break in 2nd. I'll have to do with livescores..streams are sucking too much of my precious data and my local TV channel is showing athletics.

Let me clarify. I meant how much an athlete can earn I saw a stat on Tiktok for a US gold medal a athlete can earn up to 37 k .. For China I think it was $768k which is a huge variance ...Although the endorsement for some US athletes in be huge

Shame I could not "Swap Lorenzo's Brain" for Jannik's Sinners
