Yey Andy!

I don't think Viktor has anything in the bag to trouble Andy really.

I'm hearing that Jelena Jankovic has pulled out due to a shoulder injury?

They'll probably put those signed tennis balls on Ebay. Will feed their family for a month.

Great win for Andy. He's playing pretty well.
I missed the end. Turned over just to see what else is on and there was a horrible crash in the cycling.

First set to Nadal. 50 mins.

She seemed pretty unhappy during the doubles.

Yeah I was reading that on the Rio Day 2 thread. Hope they are ok. It's a very treacherous course.

Liked the batting autographed balls into the cheap seats but hope he's not trying to get into a "Love Me" battle with Djokovic. Most already do Andy

They are all asked to sign balls and hit them into the crowd.

So essentially he should not be allowed to pick his own clothes.

I wonder if Nadal chooses to have his shorts this short or if his PR told him he has to.
That sounds strangely like a complaint! Surely not striing?

I must admit, I hadn't realised until today just how much I've missed seeing Rafa play.

Crazy. I don't understand how they are allowed to make it like that.

The edge of the road wasn't tarmacadumed yesterday and Geraint Thomas rode into it and crashed.

No complaints here. I think it should be mandatory for Rafa to wear shorts like that 24/7. I really missed him at Wimbledon. He's going to be hard to replace.

I happened to see that as well as I turned over at that time. I am disgusted that they can set a course that is so dangerous for the riders.

So lovely to be watching Rafa again, especially after that horrific crash in cycling. I'll be amazed if she hasn't done her neck. Straight over the handlebars.

They've been doing it years at most tournaments

Stosur has lost her first set 6-1, 2-1 up in set 2 though against Ostapenko.

I'm watching the women's 3 metre springboard synchronised diving anyway, GB currently in third.

She's obviously not fine or we would have heard.

The Dutch Federation said she is ok. In shock but no physical damage.
