Easier than expected. Murray guranteed a silver medal now. It would be fitting if it was Rafa he plays, with both playing for a 2nd gold medal.

So right now we have Murray, Nadal and Delpo still in. Couldn't be more perfect.

I want Andy to get the gold now that it's the only chance he has left and Rafa has one. Either Rafa or Delpo for the silver and the other one of them for the bronze.

Hand them out now.

Yeah I've just eaten some pasta so a glass or 3 of Prosecco would go down very nicely now.

every interview i've seen he's being saying how carrying the flag was the highlight of his career so i think retaining his gold would be a major major thing for him.

6pm here. Is that a delay? I assumed they're just having a pause between matches. They probably had a fixed start time of not before 2.

Well if it says it's delayed then it must be delayed. Rafa and Delpo are coming on court now.

P3tra coming into play. Keep her in the Czechia kit and let her pretend she's playing Fed Cup for the rest of season, she's like a different player when she's in that national focus.

It didn't say delayed on the channel I was watching, just not before 14.00.

They're out now. And it's that female Aussie commentator again. She seems to be on everything I watch. I can't place the male accent but I'd prefer no commentry.

Why am I so nervous when i'll be happy either way? I think I just realised i'm desperate for Rafa to win at this point.
