[100%duncan]

Lefty par for the course

[sonic21]

easy draw for Fed with only Del potro and ferrer until the final.

the other side of the draw with berdych, djoko, murray, tsonga.

[ace3g]

Fed will be extra motivated this year and with things starting to line up, he can't get too relaxed, has to stay focused.

Fed vs Djoker - Gold medal match

[100%duncan]

Federer with a walkthrough to the gold medal match. Just like in 2008. C'mon Fed get it this time.

[ace3g]

updated bracket

http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/tennis/mens-singles-tem001.html

Looks like:

Fed vs Del Potro

and

Djok vs Murray

for semis

[Brazil]

Tsonga vs. Djoko going to be fun, Djoko leads the head to head 6 - 5

I hope Tsonga can pull an upset here !

[DAF86]

Federer-Del Potro

Djokovic-Murray

[mabrignani]

dont count out del potro....i call an upset

[DAF86]

Federer 3-6 / 7-6 / 19-17 over Del Potro on a classic, record breaking match.

Both men are fucked for their medal matches though. And Del Potro still has to plays doubles today. I hope he wins, he deserves it.

[urunobili]

What a game. Was rooting for Del Potro but it would have broken my heart to see Federer lose too.

At least Fed has the day off tomorrow.

[ace3g]

Murray wins 1st set: 7-5 vs Djok

[Muser]

Holy shit that was a game for the ages. Come on Andy!

[Muser]

Yes!!!!

[ace3g]

Murray finally gets his Tennis Final at Wimbledon stadium, with royalty in the house, of course facing Fed has to bring his confidence level down a bit.

[Brazil]

Llodra and Tsong in final ! crazy last set 18-16

crazy games all day long

He got that already a couple of weeks ago.

Right before I saw your comment as I was looking at mine again, I was like "oh yeah Murray was in the Wimbledon Final..."

Well then, Round 2 vs Fed

[dbreiden83080]

Roger is going to break Murray's heart yet again? Geez this guy just can't catch a break..

[DAF86]

I wouldn't be so sure.

[mudyez]

hope roger makes it, but I rather see murray winning then the joker.

[DAF86]

Delpo just gave Argentina it's first (and only?) medal.

[Nathan89]

Congrats Murray.

Least fun tennis match I have watched in awhile. Shitty match.

[DAF86]

Murray does what he couldn't do just a few weeks ago and wins gold.

[DAF86]

I loved to see Roger kissing the silver medal. The silver is good enough for the GOAT, many should learn from this.

[ploto]

Who would have believed a few weeks ago that Djokovic would have no medal.

“I felt like I won my silver: I didn’t lose it. For me, it’s been a great month. I won Wimbledon, became world number one again, and I got silver. Don’t feel too bad for me. I’m really happy and pleased.

I know that sounds strange, as people are so used to me winning and probably only winning makes me happy. But I’m a happy tennis player, so a good result like this is obviously going to make me feel extremely proud and very happy.”
