Wot no tennis thread?

Other than the Murray one that is...

Great game between Nadal and Djokovic today. The Serb will have felt hard done by as he looked more comfortable in the second and third sets. There were some superb rallies.

Massive controversy in the Blake- Gonzalez game. I have to say I find it hard to believe that Gonzales did not know the ball had touched his racquet.

Are the players actually caring about it yet?

 

[Descartes]

Gonzales knew but as long as the ref didn't say anything... he ignored it... bad sportsmanship

Roger Fed went out early, the Murray boys acted like, well like the Murray boys, and Andy, I thought he was going to throw his handbag out of the court. And what a sulk...

Nadal played well, but tennis is seen as just one of a number of events within the Olympics

Murray is the only one who underperformed. All the other matches have been as competitive as any major tournament imo, very few shock results. Federer and the Williams sisters went out, beaten fair and square.

I heard federer didn't look too disappointed when he lost, that's what i mean.

Nah, he wanted to win it as he's done pretty much everything else. He's always been a good loser.

Djokovic was crying as he exited the court yesterday. You couldn't but feel sorry for the guy.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Oh, might just watch some tennis when its on then.

 

[Melinda]

Tennis is on now Trippy.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Ah sod it then.
