It can form a unique part of the Tennis Academy experience. A special bonus module on flag carrying, discussing the different options. The Redgrave inspired (I think it was bullying if I'm honest) one arm method, or holding it firmly in two hand and having a good old dance with a few twirls thrown in.

Well done to all tennis flag bearers (there was quite a few again) and of course Andy, biggest smile I think I've seen from him!

I haven't been following as much, so didn't know the draw, cannot believe Novak opens up against JMDP, the last match for them both at the Olympics and bronze medal match.

Also can't believe how depleted the men's field is, Pip is 23 in the world, but seeded 13 here.

Has she had a bit of botox or something, her face looked quite different?

Ok, I've watched the ceremony, I admit I skipped out on the speeches, they were going for like an hour! They didn't talk that much in London did they?

Anyway I enjoyed it enough, although I found the whole European invasion wiping out the indigenous culture really sad, yet it's a celebration? I'm not sure I get it. If nothing else it has reignited my girl crush on Gisele.

Lovely to see the players having a good time, i'll never get tired of seeing Rafa's megawatt smile. Also nice to see Kerber right up front in Germany's walk in.

Different to Djoko who refused to take a photo with a Spanish rugby player and had apparently said, 'I'm eating, do not bother me.'

I thought he was staying at a friends house? The article says he can't walk to from his room to the canteen, so is he staying in the village?

As for the Rafa love, I expect nothing less.

Kei up 5-2 against Spain on Olympics channel 6.

The tennis court looks huge. Kei dropped his racquet and was still able to pick it up and win the point. He got a huge roar from the crowd.

and Djokovic fans wonder why he's disliked around the world. No amount of him putting his arms out to the crowd telling them he's giving them his love, will make them like hm when he shows the above behaviour. Doesn't surprise me, fake as they come.

OMG Nishikori just played the most amazing point where he accidentally dropped his racquet during his service motion, stared at it on the court for a second, then quickly picked it up and continued the point where he finally won it

The only way that Rafa could have improved his technique would have been to go the topless baby oil route like the guy from Tonga.....

I felt like a proud mum seeing his beaming face.

mega watt smile would have dazzled the cameras if he was naked and oiled too!!!!

just reading this when he is questioned about people hassling him for selfies all the time "Despite the throng of athletes waylaying him, Nadal is however happy to agree for selfie requests. 'I'm not overwhelmed. It's just two weeks every four years and I'm very happy to be here, enjoying the experience w/worldwide athletes,' ."
what a sweetheart.
bit different to "I'm eating, do not bother me.'"

All those empty seats in Rio are a bit of a let down.

Are we doing to be able to see Andy and Jamie anywhere?
