I'm pretty sure in the final the men play 5 sets. It's gonna be tough for Andy

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.
I did say I was pretty sure

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.

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

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

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.
