[Divisive Cotton]

He's in two finals today - eek

Does anybody know what time they are on?

 

[Divisive Cotton]

I've just checked the single finals is on 2pm and the the mixed doubles is at 4pm

How's he going to play five sets and then do the same again straight after!? bonkers

 

[kabbes]

He won't have to. Olympics is best of three in singles and not even that in mixed doubles (if it is 1-1 in sets then there is a deciding game that is first to 10 points)

 

[fen_boy]

Men's singles final is best of 5

 

[kabbes]

Really? They increase the length of it for the final? Bonkers indeed.

Apparently so - I just had to look cos I thought it was weird. Linky says so:

Looks like the bloody roof is going to come to Federer's rescue again.

 

[Maltin]

Murray with a break. 4-2 up.

 

[pocketscience]

5-2

 

[hegley]

He even looks like he's enjoying it occasionally.

 

[Maltin]

First set to Murray. But as Balding says, that's what he did in the Wimbledon final.

 

[yardbird]

I have good feelings about this.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fucking hell

And I've got to go out in 20 mins

 

[mrs quoad]

Crikey.

 

[Maltin]

Murray 4-0 up in second set and serving for 5-0. Wished they'd kept the 3 set format for this game.

 

[Espresso]

Aww, Del Potro overcome with emotion at beating Djokovic for the bronze - first medal for Argentina.

 

[DexterTCN]

He's looking good and the crowd are right behind him.

Rain coming?

 

[starfish]

Come on Andy.

 

[DexterTCN]

......,...

 

[Maltin]

If only this could have been Championship point.

 

[Maltin]

 

[DexterTCN]

Get in.

 

[agricola]

what on earth is going on

 

[Maltin]

Are we going to get the tears again?

 

[Espresso]

Fuck me.

Well done to you, Mr Murray. Now go and have a shower and put some new shorts on, you'll be needed back here in about half an hour

 

[yardbird]

Andy!!!

Wow! just wow!

 

[Maltin]

Very well done Andy. Let's just hope he can repeat the success later today and at Wimbledon next year.

 

[Maltin]

They didn't show him hugging his mum . Where's cheery Lendl?

 

[Lo Siento.]

after losing 4 grand slam finals, can't help but feel happy for Murray

 

[krtek a houby]

28 days later - well done!
