In that case it should be that way for the entire tournament not just the final.

It should be but I presume it is a time thing. This is the Olympics not the tennis Olympics so there has to be a compromise.

Except they don't have the time to do that. The tennis part is only 9 days long.

Didn't he say if Leicester win the league he would present the first Match of the Day in his pants?

He said last year, if Leicester win the PL, he would do the 1st MOTD of the new season in just his pants.

Just be grateful he didn't say he would do it in the nude!

Seriously woman where the hell have you been living for the past few months?

I loathe football but even I can tell you why he's in his pants.

I'm curious as to why you say 'slightly good'?

I'd say it's blo*dy brilliant! Especially given Laura's (poor up until now) year.

Really proud of Rafa he played great and I'm really happy for del Potro after all he has been through, Hope Rafa can get the bronze in singles. I was so happy for him and Marc getting the gold in doubles.
