I don't think Jenny is agreeing with that post. Quite the opposite.
Ok, I read that wrong it seems.

Sorry Jenny.

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.
i saw that. that poster has been popping in since the olympics started to say deliberately inflammatory remarks. there's an untended bridge somewhere

So close.

Right that settles it, I want Delpo to win at least a silver medal (sorry Rafa fans).

I wouldn't even mind Andy losing to him in the final, assuming they both get that far.

Can't believe there was a time when I was indifferent to Delpo, such a nice guy and player.

Yep that's the one! I think there was also a youtube video somewhere but the thread has moved so fast I can't find it (or maybe that was just some crazed fever dream I had ).

Re the Rio crowd, is that sarcastic 'shusshing' by them? I'm sure some people are genuine but at a certain point the cheering stops and you just get people shusshing no-one for another 30 seconds!

I'm glad you came to your senses! As we discussed on the thread after Delpo beating Stan at Wimbledon, he is one of the few universally liked players that we could all think of and agree on. I've seen it in other places as well.

Jo and Muller on now. They are spoiling us today with all these matches.

Tsonga doing what he does best - losing to an opponent he should be beating.

Early days yet. Muller is a good player. Oh its over. I thought that was just the first set. You are right usarion, it was pretty poor from Jo.

There was that time he and Andy had a bit of falling out. I will always side with Andy....well maybe not always, but most things.

Ah, the "your mum" argument? Yeah, but they were only young. Think they've made up since, Delpo tweeted his congrats for Andy winning Wimbledon again.

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.
Welcome to the thread - and thank you!

Gilles Muller beating Tsonga, means that one of del Potro, Daniel, Bautista Agut, or Muller will reach medal rounds. in equal measure.
