For anyone with only one RB channel, Puig / Kerber is on RB1 / BBC Olympics 1 as well as BBC Olympics 6.

Really great tactics from Puig so far, no brainless ball bashing, waiting for her moment to strike and working some great angles. Petra are you watching?!

I also hate bagpipes and dislike Alex Salmond.

*takes a bow*.

I don't understand why the gold medal match is best of 5. It's daft.

There are people in the world who think it should be that way for slams as well. Pointless.

I think 5 sets is better for Andy though on this occasion.

Agreed. Especially after Delpos marathon match today.

I seem to have lost my quote with the link to Rafa and Marc's medal ceremony - thanks for posting it Jenny (I think it was you!). I can't get it to work at the moment cos I've had to reinstall my flash player, but I'll try again tomorrow once I've rebooted by computer.

A shame Puig & Kerber have had to follow the Rafa-Delpo epic.

It's been a great match so far.

I've only seen Puig play twice this year but she's been impressive both times. Quietly rooting for her now.

Ange in trouble. Shaking her leg. I think she hurt herself crouching down so low for that shot.

I can see why Puig rattled Mugz if she was playing like this.

I don't think we're gonna see Super Saturday again. Rutherford was shaky last night, two faults before scraping through on his last jump.
He'll be fine he just had to get used to the run up.

think it's 10.30 or thereabouts
Thanks. Much as I dislike football this feels like more of an event than anything related to sport now so I figured I'd tune in.

Venus and Ram beat Mirza and Bops, so they are in the gold medal match in the mixed.

Monica is on fire. No wonder she's done so well this week. What the hell is that? Giant cockroach on court?
