I haven't had anywhere near enough sleep but I was too excited to stay in bed!! Going to read back through the past few pages now, couldn't read them last night while the match was on. If it's not been asked already - does anyone know where I can watch Rafa and Marc's medal ceremony? I can't find it on You Tube. Thanks.
I watched it on the official stream, they have it archived at the moment. You can find it here, click on the centre court coverage, then click the match at the bottom of the stream and scroll through. A bit of a faff but it's at the end.

I'm so happy for them, I don't actually mind if Rafa loses today. It would be lovely if he could get a medal but he still has a shot at bronze if he loses.

Aw woke up to lovely news this morning, so happy for Marc and Rafa. I fell asleep after they went a break down in second set.

Thrilled for Rafa and Marc. At the expense of being shot down all they did was camp at the back of the court and lob a lot. Can't believe the doubles specialists didn't sort it out but what do I know.

Women's doubles final : Bacsinzky/Hingis vs Makarova/Vesnina . Looking up Vesnina's results , I see that she has partnered with both Sania Mirza & Leander Paes. Runner up in The 2011 French with Mirza & also runner up in The Australian & Wimbledon 2012 with Paes

Last year I was easily able to find streams from previous days but I'm struggling to navigate the website (looking for tennis and athletics). Is there a link to a front page which shows previous days action?

The only way I have found is to go to the schedule, go to the relevant day and sport then see if there is an archived stream.

How do you know if there is an archived stream?

I feel exactly the same. From thinking a couple of weeks ago that he might not even be able to compete at the Olympics, to actually winning a gold is unbelievable.

I'll be ecstatic if he goes on to win a bronze in the singles, but if he doesn't, it really won't matter, it will still be a great Olympics for him.

When you click on the sport, it expands and there is normally a play button on the picture if there is a stream available. When you click it, there are sometimes other court streams available. It's a bit of a wonky way to find it, there must be a better way.

If I was a betting man, I'd put money on the Czechs winning bronze in the Women's Doubles

Aren't they likely to show Murray instead on that channel? Assuming they cut away from the boxing, that is.

It says live coverage of womens doubles and mixed doubles. Oh it's Andys match. As accurate as ever with the scheduling.

Just a little no chance they were not going to show Andy. One assumes the other court in play today is available on the website or through the app, don't think they are using any more than 2 courts today?

Have no idea. They seem to be making up the scheduling as they go along. I thought his match would be later for ratings purposes.

They probably want finals later instead of semi finals.

Murray match also on BBC Four now so maybe this stream will switch to court one and the bronze medal ladies match there.
