Ok that second set went a bit south for Delpo, needs to regroup for the third.

Pretty crap he's playing again so soon after his first round match.
isn't he back on court later for doubles too?

I don't understand why Andy and Rafa get byes today and everyone else has to play. It seems unfair.

Poor from Hev in the third set, she had a chance early on and sadly didn't take it.

Disappointing from Kyle, but very good from Johanna.

Hope Delpo can win this second set comfortably.
I just found out in the Rio thread that Hev's ambition was to do well in one tournament, get a job on the beeb and then go on big brother, we shouldn't be surprised at her losing in that case. Amazing.

Andy's on the late shift isn't he?

Not sure. He's not listed on the OOP.

Somewhere there's a group of organisers in the Queen's Club disapproving (whilst drinking weak tea) of the football atmosphere during this tennis match

Been lurking on this thread for a while now, as it's far and away the best place to come for the latest tennis info (and quality pics )

I'm sure most of you have seen it, but for those who haven't I've found this site is pretty good for giving the latest schedule by court, with results and live scores

https://www.rio2016.com/en/tennis

Combined with the BBC schedule you should be able to see who'll be on what court at what time. I usually find the BBC is pretty good for live scores when I'm at work but their Olympics tennis info has been a bit patchy and slow this time.

Was that R-E-S-P-E-C-T I heard in the changeover?

A perfect example of why you shouldn't comment on something you have no idea about. Utter rubbish. The worst Wimbledon champion ever bit was bizarre as well.

I was glaring disaprovingly over my specs at the TV earlier, in my defense I'm getting old.

Welcome to the thread! It warms my heart that our posting of semi naked men is appreciated by all.

Hello! I actually hadn't seen that site, so thank you! It's very pleasing to look at

There have been pics lately? I must have missed some quality during my house move

I still can't get my head round how Delpo will be back on court in hour for a doubles match after this - no matter how long I stare at the schedules pages.

Del Potro is so immobile.

Sousa is also in the doubles today. Don't they get "after suitable rest" like in normal slams/tourneys?

Sorry but just because somebody's posted that online doesn't make it true.

People like to make all sort of rubbish about people just for attention. Hev has a poor time closing out matches, but I don't think that she lacks ambition and wants to become a tv star.

I'm not gonna lie, those pics of Rafa posted the other day definitely helped today go by a bit quicker

I don't think Jenny is agreeing with that post. Quite the opposite.

I think so, it's pretty ridiculous..

Very poorly organised by the Olympic committee.

Oo how far back in the thread was that?

... asking for a friend, naturally.
