Olympic Tennis Thread (1 Gold; 1 Silver)

[Marc]

Sharapova will NOT win gold. She's awful

[Locke.]

All aboard the Kerber train, she will share her Medal with Sabine, her Doubles partner, I am sure

[Maia]

Caroline or Vika will be winning gold I am sure

[Marc]

Caroline will face Vika in the semi's if they both keep winning.

[Marc]

Men's Quarter Finals

Federer v. Isner
Ferrer/Nishikori v. Del Potro
Almagro v. Murray
Tsonga v. Djokovic

Men's Quarter Finals

Azarenka v. v. Kerber
s. Williams v. Wozniacki
Clijsters v. Sharapova
Kvitova v. Kirilenko

Sorted. Ferrer likely to go through

[Novo]

Vika will destroy Serena this time i am sure of it

[Locke.]

Looks like Vika and Wozniacki are both going out in the next round

[Marc]

Serena has admitted that winning Gold in doubles would mean more to her than in singles

[Marc]

Should just pull out of the singles then

[Novo]

Yeah good idea that

[Novo]

Vika is in the Mixed Doubles Quarter finals as well :worship:

[Locke.]

Oh hang on a minute Lisicki's quest for Gold in mixed Doubles begins tomorrow

[Novo]

greedy ****er has gone for 3 medal chances here

[Locke.]

She is up against one of these Bryan Brothers the commentators are always going on about

[Novo]

XfgZrutG79Q

Vika giving the umpire what for

[Novo]

0eTUVMjWkvI

Vika is going to destroy the slut

[Jordan.]

Andy coasts into the semis

[MTVN]

Murray marches on

[Jordan.]

Might be best for Tsonga to beat Djokovic even though i'd rather he didn't.

[Legend killer]

I see as usual Andy feasts on the weak and the media wack one out over it sigh

Sadly i think Big John is gonna take Fed out today. In BO3 john is one of the most dangerous player's in the world his serve and Fed's usual half set long lapses will cost him in 3 today

If i was Fed i would have skipped the Olympics anyway the ranking points are ****e for it he should just focus all his efforts on the American swing where the Year end number 1 will be decided

[Marc]

Nah Andy did what was required, very good play from him today.

Plus there are a lot of points up for grabs during the Olympics, so why wouldn't Federer want to do it? :shrug: it's also an Olympic medal up for grabs. Are you really that oblivious? They're sort of a big deal

[Novo]

Vika through to the Semis after a 6-4 7-5 win over Kerber.. Serena has broke already so it looks like another Vika and Serena Semi final

[Maia]

Come on now Tsonga send Djokervic packing

[BigSister]

I fear Djoko will be too strong especially after Jos long match last time. Be intresting fior a olympic semi rematch though. I would still be happy with bronze for murray if he won the bronze medal match after bejing where he didnt make it past first round.

[Maia]

Poor Wozniacki it's not her day today but she has made me proud so far anyhow

[Maia]

And Tsonga as well :( Lost the first set 1-6

[Marc]

Wozniacki pretty much died there in that match, Serena too good for her (and everybody else).

Djokovic looking really good here. Tsonga giving him a fight in there second though

[Munchkins]

Watching Kirilenko vs Kvitova
Kirilenko's screams are ridiculous


Kirilenko took the first set

[Maia]

Tsonga doing great here in the 2nd set :worship:

[Marc]

Watching Kirilenko vs Kvitova
Kirilenko's screams are ridiculous


Kirilenko took the first set

Aren't they ridiculous?!

There is no need for her to scream like that, puts me right off watching her or wanting her to win.

[Jordan.]

Kirilenko is fabulous

[Marc]

Loud bitch. LOL

[Locke.]

Is Court Two (the Kirilenko-Kvitova court) live on the red button?

[Munchkins]

I want Kvitova through, good match though :)

[Munchkins]

Is Court Two (the Kirilenko-Kvitova court) live on the red button?

Yeah, its BBC olympics 21 :P

[Marc]

My god she's loud, can't wait for her loud mouth to be shut up in the next round.

[Legend killer]

LOL Marc Olympic medal is not even more important then a masters event and the points reflect that. Besides Fed has already got a gold he needs to tank this event and save energy for the American swing another Year end number one OWNS Olympic gold.

Another thing which is bothering me is the media trying the shove this top 4 **** down our pipe. Let's get one thing clear their is a top 4 BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANDY BLOODY MURRAY. The guy is just as far behind Nadal,Fed and Djoko as anyone else we have all seen him WHEN IT MATTERS against the 3 of them don't let Fed tanking a couple of masters events against Murray cloud anyone's judgement

However the 4th member of the big 4 is a fit Del Boy. We all saw him destroy Nadal like i have never seen at the USO and then beat Fed(although main reason was fed having a meltdown half way during the match when he decided to just loop balls to Del Boy's forehand. He also pushed Fed ALL THE WAY the year he won the FO something Andy has never come close to doing

[Maia]

What an awful result poor Tsonga was robbed

[Marc]

Think what you like Legend killer. Olympic Gold is amazing and not everybody in tennis can get one. It's a massive achievement.

[Marc]

and Del Potro is not playing as well as he played in the US Open in 2009 so you can stop with that nonsense.

[Munchkins]

Kirilenko won 7-6 6-3

Poor Kvitova :(

[Marc]

Kirilenko won 7-6 6-3

Poor Kvitova :(

Ugh.. oh well Serena has it in the bag

[Novo]

Didn't expect that result, Just like Wimbledon though it's either going to be Serena or Vika who will win the Gold

[Locke.]

Here we go, time for the most important game of the day

[Marc]

Serena Gold
Maria Silver
Vika Bronze

[Novo]

Vika - Gold
Clijsters - Silver
Serena - Bronze

[Marc]

Vika - Gold
Clijsters - Silver
Serena - Bronze

Well wouldn't that be lovely.

[Locke.]

Ok Lisicki is going to need a better doubles partner this guy can't get the ball over the net

[Marc]

Is she playing with somebody called like Lak?

[Locke.]

Christopher Kas

[Munchkins]

I really can't stand Serena, would hate her to win :(

[Legend killer]

Think what you like Legend killer. Olympic Gold is amazing and not everybody in tennis can get one. It's a massive achievement.

Agassi did not think so , i don't think so and neither do the tour organisers hence the drop in points. Fed needs to think smart he is not in his prime no more he has already played more matches then anyone else

and Del Potro is not playing as well as he played in the US Open in 2009 so you can stop with that nonsense.

Like i said WHEN FIT it's not his fault he has been cursed with injuries

[Marc]

Probably Federer's last chance to win a Single's Gold so why would he not focus on this? Definitely needs it to top off everything.

[Locke.]

Lisicki and Kas take the first set in a tie break :worship:

[Legend killer]

Like i said before Year end Number one>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Olympic Gold that is just a fact + he already has a gold.

Needs to tank this and conserve energy the tour have done as much as they can to help the bores of the tour(Djoko,Murray,Nadall) with there slowing down of courts left right and centre and who can forget the DREADFULL Super Saturday which pretty much means Fed will never win a USO again

Save that energy old boy

[Locke.]

7-6, 6-7, 10-5

Take back what I said about Kas he livened up a bit and started playing decent. He will deserve that Gold Medal he and Lisicki win.

[Marc]

Like i said before Year end Number one>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Olympic Gold that is just a fact + he already has a gold.

Needs to tank this and conserve energy the tour have done as much as they can to help the bores of the tour(Djoko,Murray,Nadall) with there slowing down of courts left right and centre and who can forget the DREADFULL Super Saturday which pretty much means Fed will never win a USO again

Save that energy old boy

Only a double thought, needs a singles medal really

[Novo]

Super Max and Vika are taking that gold medal i'm afraid so Lisicki will have to settle for Bronze or Silver

[Locke.]

Vika will be breaking her ankle in her next match so she shall not be winning anything I'm afraid

[Maia]

R Fed :worship:

[Marc]

Vika to do the double?

[Novo]

Correct Marc, Vika to do what even Fed has never done

[Maia]

Yes I am a Vika supporter now Caroline is out, let's hope she can do the double

[Marc]

Murray Robson :cheer2:

[Marc]

Correct Marc, Vika to do what even Fed has never done

Serena could do the triple, singles, doubles, and the mens with B. Bryan.

[Mystic Mock]

I missed the last few minutes of the Djokovic vs Tsonga match, what was the result?

[Maia]

Djokovic won (:() 6-1 7-5, through to the semi-final

[Marc]

Murray on for a Bronze though, Del Potro will crumble to Andy

[Mystic Mock]

Djokovic won (:() 6-1 7-5, through to the semi-final

Ok thanks Mollie, im glad Djokovic is through it's just ashame he had to knock out Tsonga.

[Marc]

Poor Tsonga, great guy. Deserves the world.

[Marc]

Go on Murray Robson !

[MTVN]

Thought Murray would make Robson look a bit sh*t but she's playing well

[Marc]

Robson/Murray break in the first game of the second set :pipe: yayness

[MTVN]

Ahh Robson messing up her serve

[Legend killer]

If Del-Boy is fit Murray will win 2 games MAX in the whole match. Hopefully he does what Nadaull did in 09 and decides to moonball his shots onto the Del-Boy forehand

[MTVN]

Going to a match tie break now, Robson's been pretty awful in this set

[MTVN]

Got there in the end :worship:

[skkc16]

Serena - Gold
Masha- Silver
Vika- Bronze

I honestly don't see anyone beating Serena the way she's playing. She's the GOAT!!!!!

[Marc]

Serena - Gold
Masha- Silver
Vika- Bronze

I honestly don't see anyone beating Serena the way she's playing. She's the GOAT!!!!!

Yeah I see no body else beating her

[Marc]

Vika could shake this all up with a massive surprise. But she won't :joker:

[Jordan.]

Fed loses the first set :suspect: Not good for Murray if he goes out.

[Legend killer]

LOL at some of you having THER NERVE to suggest Murray is better then the Caveman. One can only imagine the beatdown pre-injured Caveman would have given to Murray on any surface. One thing is for sure without the injury Del-Boy would have another 2-3 slams

[Jordan.]

Not this silly rambling again

[Marc]

Well he DID get injured so get over it. God you're like a dog with a bone, thinking you know more than anybody else about sport

[Black Dagger]

Is it possible Murray can win a medal?

I haven't really been watching the Tennis as much as I was planning on doing.

[Marc]

Well he's in the semi at the moment if he beats Djokovic he'll be in for a shot at either Silver or Gold if he doesn't then he'll have to play the loser of the other semi final (Federer/Del Potro) for a Bronze medal. If he loses, he wont get a medal

[Munchkins]

I really want Vika for Gold and Not Serena :(

[MTVN]

Murray will be winning two golds at this tournament :pipe:

[Marc]

Silly Jamie ruining the chance of getting a clean sweep

[Legend killer]

Marc thinking and knowing are too different things

This is a win win situation for me. As a Fed fan i don't like seeing him lose BUT would rather he saved his energy for the American swing in pursuit of the YE number 1 + Del boy is just confirming what i already knew

[Legend killer]

Andy won't be beating Djoko in SERBIA MODE let's get that straight Djoko in 2 sets the first being tight while he runs away with the second

[Legend killer]

USO 09 flashbacks coming hard at me

FEELSBADMAN.JPG

[Marc]

Well August and November results in 2009 on hard court tell a different story. Only time Del Potro has ever beaten Murray was on clay and they're both arguably as bad as each other on that surface.

FEELSEVENMOREBADMAN.PNG - more clarity yo'

[Legend killer]

PMSL you do know that Del Boy pushed Fed to 5 sets in the FO TWICE , murray can BARELY win a set against Fed in a slam

You do know that Del Boy is the ONLY one outside the big 3 to beat Nadal and Fed on way to winning a slam

Please stop with the Murray love in he is a GOOD player but in the class of Berdy and co

FACTSOFLIFE.GIF

[Novo]

Who cares? Vika is about to destroy Serena Williams and all you can go on about is Del Potro? have some respect

[Marc]

LOL alright LK you keep on thinking that.

[Novo]

Lisicki just smashed the ball against the net and it came up and hit someone in the face

[Legend killer]

Fed is the only player that could keep with Del Boy playing like this.Scary thing is though Grass is quite possibly the Caveman's worst surface

[Novo]

Fed has been at about 30% in this match

[Legend killer]

Fed has played very well i would say about 15.9% of GOAT mode but Del Boy is just a beast. To compare after the 2nd set of Wimby i calculated he only unleashed 0.1% of GOAT mode on Andy

[Legend killer]

I'm sorry MARC but i think you owe the Caveman an apology

[Marc]

For?...

[Legend killer]

Comparing him to a bum like Murray are you watching the match i would struggle to get Murray to play this well on my xbox

[Marc]

He dived for a ball? Hardly impressive.

[Legend killer]

He dived for a ball? Hardly impressive.

http://i41.tinypic.com/2uz4jz5.png

[Legend killer]

PMSL Del Boy educating left right and centre what bottle

[MTVN]

Games like this are annoying, should just have a tie break in the third set

[Legend killer]

Whoever loses will also lose the Bronze medal match to Murray will have nothing in the tank

[MTVN]

Federer wins 19-17, thought he was gonna bottle his serve again

[Legend killer]

What a ****ing match!!!!#

I'm off out but when i come back i would like to see an apology issued to the caveman from Marc i'm all for freedom of speech but not if it is something as stupid as that

[Legend killer]

I think fed will forever be pained about losing that final in 09 he has Del Boy's number and should never have lost that game

[MTVN]

A nice easy bronze for Djokovic tomorrow

[Munchkins]

Aw well done Federer <3
Sorry to Del Potro though :(

If Vika does not beat Serena i will cry

[Marc]

Quite some effort put in from Federer considering

Like i said before Year end Number one>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Olympic Gold that is just a fact + he already has a gold.

[Marc]

Should have just let Del Pot win if the gold medal doesn't mean much.

[Legend killer]

Never said it didn't mean much at a personal level BUT as a achivement in deciding GOAT status or rankings it means less then an masters event as shown in the ranking points

And please don't try and come at me when you have the nerve to suggest Murray is better then Del Boy PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Funniest thing i have heard in a while

[Novo]

Kobe is there to watch Serena fall

[Marc]

Did your key just get stuck? :laugh:

You can't have it both ways LK, admit you're wrong; go on; you might just like it.

[Novo]

3 Aces already :bored:

[Legend killer]

Wrong about what??

DID I SAY IT WAS NOT IMPORTANT AT A PERSONAL LEVEL???
No i said it was worthless at a ranking level compared to the American swing and YE number 1 and i am CORRECT

However you need to admit you were wrong with your silly uneducated comment about Murray being better then Del Boy PMSL

[Marc]

Hope you've got adult nappies on, amount of pissing you're doing.

Del Potro isn't better than Murray, rankings, win loss record shows that. What else do you need to prove it :shrug:

[Marc]

3 Aces already :bored:

Ugh, she's cheating I swear.

[skkc16]

Kobe is there to watch Serena fall

Get ready to eat your words. Serena FTW!!!!

[Marc]

Somebody in Serena's box is wearing some ridiculous Olympics glasses, should escort her off the court

[Novo]

these aces are so frustrating

[Marc]

What's the score? I've got the cycling on

[MTVN]

This is a bit easy for Serena

When does Murray play, thought it'd be straight after the Federer game

[Marc]

Commentators said 3rd on so I guess in about 20 minutes

[Novo]

Vika has to hold every game in the next set she's got no chance of breaking Serena :bored:

[skkc16]

:joker: Vika got a breadstick in an Olympic Semifinal

[Marc]

No body stands a chance when Serena the GOAT is playing.

[MTVN]

Vika has to hold every game in the next set she's got no chance of breaking Serena :bored:

That lasted long :pipe:

[Novo]

Vika settling for Bronze now

[Marc]

She's got no chance.

[Marc]

This will be over before 18:00 hours.

[Novo]

Vika will last til 10 past

[Marc]

Hmm perhaps 10 minutes for 3 games was too much for me to ask.

[Shaun]

Team GB ‏@TeamGB
#Tennis YES! @Andy_Murray has broken Djokovic to take the first set 7-5. It was tight but he won - come on just 1 more set Andy!

:amazed:

[Marc]

I'm scared Shaun

[Shaun]

-holds you-

[Munchkins]

Omg how exciting :OO

[Legend killer]

PMSL Azarenka is fuken pathetic let the big guns in Shara and Serena play for the gold.

Marc maybe the caveman can let Murray polish his grand slam trophy for him or maybe he can give him some tips on how to actually play Fed when it matters

[Marc]

He lost

[Jordan.]

Suprised how well Andys playing and he's keeping it up :amazed:

[Legend killer]

http://jt-assets.tennmandigital.com/assets/2036/original/delPotro.jpg?1274506020

Hey Andy can you clean my trophy

[Jordan.]

Get in :worship:

Legend Killer remains seething.

[Marc]

Yesssssssssssssssssssasssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!

[Marc]

:cheer2:

[MTVN]

Yes Murray :worship: well and truly showing he's in the top 4 in the world

[Shaun]

:amazed: guaranteed silver medal for GB

[Maia]

MURRAY!!! :amazed:

[Marc]

OMG OMG OMG

So happy!!!!

C'MON MURRAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

[Legend killer]

Well done Murray 2 consecutive final's when you don't have to play Nadal. Nevermind Djoko has not been the same since he came of his roids last year fed WILL DISPOSE OF THE TRASH ONCE AGAIN

Fed as we speak is probs giving Mirka a quick bang in delight of playing his whipping boy once again

[MTVN]

Can't believe I ever hated Murray, he is a hero

[Marc]

:worship: Matt you're a hero

[skkc16]

I'm happy for Murray. If he takes the first set against Fed he'll definitely have a chance for revenge

[Marc]

He took the first set in the Wimbledon final. I want him to take the first three sets please, then I'll feel good :thumbs2:

[Munchkins]

Wow ;D well done for Murray, so hope he gets gold!

[skkc16]

He took the first set in the Wimbledon final. I want him to take the first three sets please, then I'll feel good :thumbs2:

****. I forgot it's now 5 sets in the final.

[Legend killer]

I know it's talked about as being a Golden era BUT it really is quite bad that a past his prime Fed is still able to beat these young guns who in there prime on a regular basis. Although the GOAT the fact that all these lads are in there prime and also with the slowing down of all courts to suit the bores (Murray,Djoko and Nadall) Fed really should not be dominating like he is

[Novo]

Looks like Legend Killer educated himself today Del Boy = Bronze at Best, Murray = Silver/Gold

[Marc]

:laugh: Looks like it

[Novo]

Love how he was so sure Murray would end up losing today :pipe:

[Black Dagger]

I must watch the Tennis final to see if our Andy can secure us a gold. :pipe:

[Legend killer]

Firstly i would just like to say i look forward to Shara vs Aza in the ladies final


OH WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secondly it really does become more and more clear how much greater my knowledge of sport is compared to your's COMBINED!!!

I'm sorry to burst your bubble guys BUT Del boy has ACTUALLY WON A SLAM and to make it even better he beat BOTH NADAL AND FEDERER. Add to that he has pushed Fed to five sets at the French Open(TWICE) the US OPEN and of course now the Olympics(Granted not as big on a ranking level/BO3) while Andy has taken ONE set ofF the GOAT in 3 slam final's PMSL(One of which Fed was in the worst form of his life coming out of mono)

Your lack of knowledge offends me

[Legend killer]

[Legend killer]

LOL at the 2 fans in the photo i bet Del boy was GUTTED PMSL

[Novo]

Yeah when it comes to head to heads Nadal is clearly better

[Legend killer]

Yeah when it comes to head to heads Nadal is clearly better

PMSL say's it all really please leave this thread and never post in a tennis thread again


Marc don't care if your the original OP if you come out with something as stupid aswell you need to go aswell

[Munchkins]

What time are the women's matches on tomorrow :)?

[Legend killer]

Can't stop laughing Nadall better then Fed PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Novo]

Didn't say he was better then Fed Career wise.. i said Nadal is better then Fed when they play each other in important matches.. the stats don't lie, Fed is more consistent but he has 5 years on Nadal

[Novo]

How many head to head games is Nadal ahead of Federer... 6? says it all.

[Legend killer]

Novo knowledge= Rossol is better then Nadal also

Novo has spoken bow to the knowledge

PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously it is just to easy i feel like i am bullying you. Please send Marc in

[Marc]

Rosol*

[Novo]

Difference is Rosol and Nadal have played each other once.. Federer and Nadal have played 20+ times and Nadal is effortlessly ahead

[Legend killer]

Novo your making yourself look very silly please leave and never post in a tennis thread EVER AGAIN

[Munchkins]

Novo your making yourself look very silly please leave and never post in a tennis thread EVER AGAIN

How is he :S, just because someone is disagreeing and apparently not making good enough facts, does not make them a fool
I like Novo's posts
Vika :love:

[Marc]

Munchkins has spoken!

[Legend killer]

Muchkins thanks for your input i have taken it onboard but i am sorry Novo's comments are the most stupid things i have ever heard and needs to leave this tennis thread

[Novo]

Thank you very much Munchkins, you me and 90% of the rest of the forum know that Legend Killer is always wrong and he hasn't got a good track record of predictions, poor kid.

[Munchkins]

Munchkins has spoken!

Thanks Marc, i'm going to sip some J20 :)

[Legend killer]

Novo you do know Berdy has a leading head to head vs Murray PMSL

[Shaun]

Thank you very much Munchkins, you me and 90% of the rest of the forum know that Legend Killer is always wrong and he hasn't got a good track record of predictions, poor kid.

It's okay LK is just being silly, I think he's trying to be funny or something

[Locke.]

Bloody Murray and his singles games getting in the way of the all important mixed doubles semi final

[Munchkins]

Also with Murray vs Federer its a whole different ball game this time
since its 3 Sets..
He did well in Wimbledon in the first set.. so he could pull out an upset
if it was 5 sets, i would rule him out tbh

[Marc]

It's okay Murray and Robson will come and battle it out with the German's soon. It'll be the biggest match the world has ever seen

[Legend killer]

Forget the what the history books or the ATP say we now have the Novo and Marc rating scale

You have less slams wins and played worse against the top player's in major matches you are the better player-The MARC EFFECT

You have pretty much 1% of the achievements of an opponent even though you have pretty much played during the same era you are the better player THE NOVO EFFECT

I'm out but please take a bow guys you have changed the way we look at the game for generations to come

[Novo]

Talk a load of **** 24/7 THE LEGEND KILLER EFFECT

Sounds about right tbh

http://m.london2012.com/tennis/

Just three weeks after the end of the annual grand slam tournament, Wimbledon will once again welcome the best players in the world for the London 2012 Tennis competition.


Date: Saturday 28 July – Sunday 5 August

Venue: Wimbledon

Competitors: 172 (86 men, 86 women)


Medal events: Five (men’s and women’s Singles, men’s and women’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles)

The basics

Players hit a ball over the net into their opponents’ half. The object is to score points by playing the ball so that it cannot be returned over the net within the boundary lines.

Tennis has a unique scoring system. The first three points in a game are noted as 15, 30 and 40, with the next point winning the game. A score of 40–40 is called deuce, and from that score two further points must be won consecutively to win the game. A score of zero in a game is called love.

Matches consist of sets, which are decided by the first to six games and must be won by at least two clear games. At six games all, in all but the final set, players go to a tie-break, which will decide the winner of the set, 7–6.

All matches are the best of three sets with the exception of the men’s Singles final, which is the best of five sets, and all Mixed Doubles matches, which is resolved by a first-to-10 tie-break if they reach one set all.

Competition format

The tournament is a knockout format, with the winners of the semi-finals in each event going head-to-head on Centre Court for the gold medals. There are 16 seeded players in each Singles event, eight seeded teams in the men’s and women’s Doubles, and four seeded teams in the Mixed Doubles. Seedings are determined by world rankings.

[Lee.]

[Novo]

[Lee.]

You silly begger!!!!

I know! What time is it on at?

[Marc]

I know! What time is it on at?

Think it's about 2, it's not been announced yet but the women are on at 2pm today so I'm guessing the same.

[Lee.]

Not good news :bored:

[Marc]

Uh oh, what is so important Lee?

[Lee.]

Nothing important really.. going to visit friends and their new baby. Can't really cancel as we were supposed to go last Sunday! :(

[Legend killer]

Let's be honest now if Murray fails to beat a 31 year old fed who has just played a marathon a day earlier with home advantage he should just retire from the game.

Hopefully it rains so the roof is put on Fed would chuck a couple of bagels in in those condtions

[Lee.]

Stop trolling this thread. It's an Olympic tennis discussion thread. We get it, you don't like Murray!

[Legend killer]

LOL who is trolling i am dissucsiing tennis not my fault your sensitive over some guy you have never met SMH

[Lee.]

LOL who is trolling i am dissucsiing tennis not my fault your sensitive over some guy you have never met SMH

Whether I have met him or not is irrelevant. Andy is going to take an Olympic medal for Team GB and has most people's support on here. Belittling him is obviously going to annoy those if us who are supporting GB.

[Legend killer]

LOl so i have to support him because the majority on this thread are team GB???

[MTVN]

Robson broken with her first serve, not a good start

[Marc]

FGS :bored: Don't need this mixed doubles match going too long

[Marc]

Nothing important really.. going to visit friends and their new baby. Can't really cancel as we were supposed to go last Sunday! :(

That new baby will still be new the day after or the week after :laugh:

[MTVN]

They break back :pipe: quite like the way they do these doubles with just the tiebreak in the 3rd set, none if this 20 game nonsense

[Marc]

Indeed :pipe:

Stosur is terrible on grass and Hewitt is an old man now, hopefully this works in our favour

[Marc]

Nope, I just don't see any need to be so negative about him.

[Lee.]

Indeed :pipe:

Pfft! An incredibly hot old man!

[Marc]

Somebody needs a cold shower :pipe:

[Lee.]

Hahaha... I actually DO need to go get a shower but I'm scared I miss any excitement!

[MTVN]

Yessss, just need to beat those horrible Germans now

[Novo]

What was the tie break score?

[MTVN]

10-8, were behind for most of it

[Marc]

:amazed: yayayayayayayy

[Marc]

Lee I would not judge you for not showering

[Locke.]

Lisicki and Kerber already knocked Robson-Watson out of the regular doubles, tonight she will be ending GB's hopes again and knocking Robson and Murray out.

[Marc]

Sending those German's packing :pipe:

[Novo]

Bronze for Vika

[Novo]

And she even got a kiss from Maria

[Munchkins]

Do most people like Murray because he is british? or do they actually like his personality
i can't stand him at times, hes so dull and has tantrums, but i support him sometimes just for the nation

[Marc]

I like his game and I like him.

[Marc]

Good girl Vika

[Munchkins]

I like his game and I like him.

How? he is awful imo:hugesmile:

[Marc]

Lol don't you start now. He's not as arrogant as people make out, he's just not charismatic. You don't have to be, he just loves the game and wants to get on with it

[Munchkins]

Lol don't you start now. He's not as arrogant as people make out, he's just not charismatic. You don't have to be, he just loves the game and wants to get on with it

Of Course i still want him to win though, and i accept he's a good player:hugesmile:

[skkc16]

Lol don't you start now. He's not as arrogant as people make out, he's just not charismatic. You don't have to be, he just loves the game and wants to get on with it

This is how I feel about him as well. He entertains me on the court I don't need him to charm the pants of me with his personality
