Job done @andy_murray !!!

oh no he's set me off again

there is absolutely loads of them....

someone on the rio thread just posted that they held the plane for Andy

Mentioned that earlier, love the announcement "We apologize for the delay to this flight as one passenger is late arriving due to receiving a Gold medal"

they just don't get a moments rest do they?
im bloody exhausted and all i've done is watch it!!!
can't imagine how tired andy is what about his ice bath???

makeshift one on the plane with lots of plastic glasses filled with ice...?

I've got too much excitement still no way I can sleep

hahahah

me too i'm thinking of having a sandwich now the tennis is over i'm starving i ws too nervous to eat dinner

So a great day for British tennis.

Andy wins a 2nd Olympic gold.
Dan Evans wins an ATP Challenger
Laura Robson wins an ITF singles & doubles (with Freya Christie).

I had dinner but I'm hungry now you mention it...all the stress!

Big CONGRATULATIONS to our ambassador @andy_murray! An absolutely amazing achievement

I'm not sure we've had a better day?

Also, I'd give a shout out to Cameron Norrie for getting to the challenger final, it sounds like he did incredibly well.

i don't know whether it's because it's late but every time i read the tweets from players i tear up

Well.

The tennis started with Delpo stuck in a lift needing to be rescued by the Argentina rugby players and Andy poking Princess Anne with the flag.

Who would've thought this outcome, eh?

hahahhhahaa thats great didnt know that about Delpo!

This genuinely had me howling, love it

look at his cute sad face...

Not fair. Murray's match lasted over four hours!

Love Andy, but someone like Max would benefit from that sort of award a lot more, and he'd thoroughly deserve it. A very remarkable achievement from him.

they are doing a review of the night and they showed match point again lovely to see ANdy console Delpo -they both looked shattered

They've turned Nadal away at a restaurant

what happened to that plane?

i can't even...words gone.....


eta reading chris's twitter feed he is so patient answering questions what a dude!

that's Nadal's excuse sorted!

did you just see the interview with Inverdale? Poor Andy playing in Cincy on Weds is it too much to hope that his opponent gives him a w/o?

yes i saw it he looked totally spent no energy left at all.
you'd think they'd give them some kind of dispensation.
seems the more you win the less recovery time you get
if you're rubbish and out in the first round you get time to prepare!

he's lovely. nice accent too!

yeah, guess they're used to it though, being top class and all.

during 2012 olympics there was a poster called ScarletStarlet (i think) and we were his personal cheerleading squad

i had a nickname for him

Oh that is harsh. I bet he's starving.

Perhaps with the late finish they thought it would be better to go in the morning.
