Tokyo Olympics 2021 - 24th July to 1st August 2021

[GameSetAndMath]

I think PCB will be upset by Cilic. Davidovich will probably will win against Milkman, but that is also a tough match.

Also Milkman beat Federer once at the USO when the conditions were very hot and humid (that was the first time I saw Federer sweat). So, if the match between Davidowich and Milkman is in hot conditions, It would probably favor Milkman.

Andy Murray is the greatest tennis player with the first name ANDY to consistently be hated upon by Fiero.. SMH2...I wanted to see Sir Andy compete ..it's a darn Shame

Sir Andrew is still in the doubles....he already has 2 Gold in Singles and also Gold in mixed doubles....he can still be the greatest tennis player with the first name Andy!!!!

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Sasha won his match in straight sets.

 

[Fiero425]

By entering the draw and dropping out before stepping on to the court, Andy deprived a deserving player of the great pandemic (oops, Olympic) experience.

I heard it isn't a walkover! Aussie Max Purcell replaced him in the draw!

Yes you are correct it is not a walkover...Young Max will play FAA
BTW I did post that he will play Aussie Max Purcell when I broke the news Andy had withdrew from his singles match.

FAA and Max Purcell match is now underway

FAA and Max Purcell match is now underway

I thought he was just in line, but I keep hearing something about "a lucky loser" in the background commentary of the match!

Max Purcell came in when Alex De Minaur withdrew because of COVID

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Max Purcell wins the 1st set against FAA 6-4 and has a early break in the 2nd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Aussie Max Purcell defeats FAA No 9 seed 64 76(2) Oi,Oi,Oi,
Conditions still hot in Tokyo.

Max W 20 UFE 8 FAA W 26 UFE 23

FAA did not help his cause with his UFE count and also his serve let him down especially in the t/break.

Max Purcell will also play doubles with John Peers a doubles specialist....

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW Martin Fucsovics withdrew earlier with a right shoulder injury was replaced by Aussie Luke Saville who played Hubert Hurkaoz (POL) and lost 62 64.

Just kidding with you Fiero. You are a good sport. FAA wished it would have been Andy instead of the Aussie..

FAA probably thought he had an easy 1st rounder; esp. after embarrassing Federer in Halle! Murray would have just been an old vet saying good-bye to the crowd as he melted into the court! This seems to happen with Murray; unexpected consequences to his dropping out of a draw at the last minute! IIRC the seeding had to be readjusted in Paris; maybe in 2013 which caused Djokovic to play Rafa in the SF instead of the final! It was a great match, but should've been the final instead of with Ferrer!

This is further evidence that man loses after marriage.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Samurai Glassikori defeated MLBB Rublev (who was the projected quarterfinalist to face Novak).

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Apparently, Novak is the most popular character at the Olympics.

Novak always felt less love form fans, media and in general. So, he may feel that his other ambition of being loved is achieved (thanks to Fedal not being there).

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Extreme Weather Policy is in place,
Players have a 90 seconds sit down at change of ends.Players can have a ten minute break before a deciding set..(3 players have retired so far due to heat).
