Well someone had to say it.

Oh dear, still upset that Djokovic is without a gold medal are we? As for Murray only playing one top 20 player, he played a #141 ranked player who played considerably above that ranking. Heck, even the world #1 couldn't get past him As Kate Nash once sang, "you must eat so many lemons, cause you are so bitter"

As far as the Hlavackova incident is concerned, I would have thought she could have shown rather more concern. I don't know if she did, but surely she could have gone to see if Andrea was OK. I think the umpire got off his chair to check, I think she should have gone to her too”

I think I have to look for the FO final on YT soon. Havent seen it since 99.

And she really isn't the nicest person in the world either (...)

Not upset or bitter at all - just stating facts which appear to have been overlooked.
Oh and can't stand Kate Nash either.

Maybe she should change her name to Schweinsteiger. She's damaging her brand.

He also gave a press conference and revealed that Andy told him to Enjoy it, you deserve it after such a tough comeback

May as well just retire now after an embarrassment like that.

Fact is we all know Delpo would've been a mainstay of at least top 10 if not top 5 had it not been for the injuries. Gold is gold doesn't matter how you do it, you can only play what's in front of you and still got to beat them all to do it. Puig had to beat 3 grand slam champs to win hers. Andy was woeful-sub par for most of the tournament and yet still ground out the wins.

Exactly. People only see and hear what they want to see and hear sometimes. Have you had any sleep at all?

Overlooked by some, irrelevant for others?

Andy didn't cruise through to the final, having to recover from third set breaks against Fognini and Johnson.

Delpo brought his A game for the Olympics and nearly won the whole thing, that's the good piece of news I'm taking from the event.

Along with Andy winning his gold medal of course

Ouch. Good for Stan and JoKo though!

Pass. Only guesses.

That is so sweet, both the comment and the pic. He really does deserve it. Sometimes I wish we could hear what they say at the net. Maybe a ballboy could sneak a mic on the net!

Re: the Innverdale controversy - I agree with those who state that the reaction is being overcooked. John will never live down his Marion comments (which were terrible tbh), but anything he does or says now is being used as a stick to beat him with.

Ballboy? They looked like adults to me

I'm guessing it was easier than training local kids for the kids, shame though.

Did the crankiness give it away? The athletics getting delayed couldn't have happened on a worse night. I had to get up at 7am to go and queue for League Cup tickets!

Gawd. I don't know how you do it every night. If there was a medal awarded for stamina you'd be in gold medal position. 🏅

Bet Steve Johnson wishes he never said anything re: USO WDs. Seen on twitter a few places that Delpo will definitely be getting one. Johnson will be nervous about the draw, it'd be funny if he draws Delpo!!

Tennis.com: Del Potro Gets US Wildcard

I reckon all the 32 seeds will be dreading get him in the first round. It makes for an interesting draw.

I suppose in an ideal world he could draw No 32 seed and then effectively take that place, assuming of course Delpo wins.

Roll on 29th August.
