[Carol]

[Carol]

Delpo looks full of energy
The crow is divided

 

[Carol]

[Carol]

Despite more than just a little bit of doubt about the merit of tennis in the Olympics, I'd have to say that I just witnessed the best match of the year. That was huge

Disappointed wanted JMDP to win. I despise Murray. I hope he gets the worst draw from hell for the US Open.

Better than 2016 FO; Nole winning to complete a "Nole-Slam" and potential for a OGCYGS? uzzled :nono :dodgy: :cover

 

[Carol]

Good match and well played by both! :clap

Nah, Rafa vs Delpo was a bit better because he was a tab bit fresher

Congrats to Andy on Second Gold :clap

After seeing the first two games, I thought the match will be over in straight sets and in about 2 hours. The fact that it went to 4 hours shows the tremendous spirit of DelPo. :clap Hope he heals completely and have a few years at the top of ATP.

My money's down on Murray not completing the case for #1 this year! Top seed at Cincy; can't see it! USO just around the corner; most should be licking their chops if Andy's in their section of the draw! The emotions winning OG will probably take him out like Roger; we'll see! uzzled :nono :angel: :dodgy:

Congrats to Murray, Delpo and Rafa..I think the game of tennis was proven to be the big winner this week. This is really the first time I truly watched the matches in the Olympic style format which I found to be very thrilling and entertaining.:clap

Nah, that match was good for 2 sets then Andy fell away. Tonight Delpo never fell away and was metaphorically carried by the Argentines in the crowd, plus the playing style contrast made it a joy to watch. It was better than the Rafa match slightly because of that more exaggerated contrast.

I genuinely don't see a draw that will prevent Murray making semis at least. He now displays a mental toughness that backs up his ability.

WHAT????????? this is unreal and unacceptable and I hope they make something about that

Unfortunately, the rules about bathroom break are quite vague. There is not even an official limit on how long a bathroom break can be.

I understand that sometimes they have to do as an "emergency" but what Nishi has done is worse than that, very ugly tactic

I don't know whether Nishi took a shower or not. However, taking a bathroom break after losing a set is an age old trick and has been indulged in by all players including Rafa and Roger. There are no saints out there. So, it is not fair to just single out Nishi.

15 minutes break and the suspicion that he took a shower is a little too much

So, what is the next honor that the British Empire will bestow upon Andy now that he has added one more Wimbledon and one more OG. Hopefully, the will not give him Knighthood before he retires. Is there something in between OBE (which he already has) and Knighthood?
