I was staggered when I realised yesterday that Venus is still in. I thought she seemed ill in her singles match and assumed the doubles loss was due to her but maybe not.

I don't think it's Angie's style. Not that I can remember anyway.

My thinking too, she's got form as well. Hope I'm wrong though.

She was being outplayed. Probably stalling for time to get her head together.

She was, she had some sort of virus.
Venus gets a medal, Serena doesn't. Not what you would've thought at the beginning! The same with Delpo

Oh ok, I can't think of any instances right now, but I stand corrected.

Serena does have a shoulder injury, so she wasn't 100% either, but fortunately for Venus, there was a couple of days break between her early losses and the start of the mixed-doubles. Apparently she had the virus before she got to Rio (so not Zika), so it sounds as if it has run its course and she's back on form just in time. If she wins gold, she'll be the first tennis player to win singles, doubles and mixed golds.

7.30 UK time, but it will depend on the 2 matches before hand not over running.

It depends how long the matches before it take but not before 7pm our time.
The schedule is on the BBC website.
Disgusting by Kerber. no one is surprised i guess. This is her style.
She is a classless *****. hope Puig recovers and takes the gold.

I've no idea about Kerber's MTO, but she has hardly had to play lights out to be up in this set. Monica is all over the shop.

Thanks. I was thinking I was gonna miss it, as I had it in my brain that it was at 4pm UK time, from looking at the schedule earlier.

She played the reputation not the match.
In Aptos it's an all GB final:
Dan Evans vs Cameron Norrie, who came through qualifying. Someone posted about Norrie earlier on in the thread.

Because 3 sets is to 5 what twenty20 is to test cricket. One can be played by any chancer and the other sorts the men from the boys.
