OOP is out for tomorrow.

Keys up first then it looks like Nadal/Simon followed by Andy/Fabio on centre court.

The Rio website is a mess. I find it easier to nick the pdf's from the downloads on the schedule and results page.

Tecau and Mergea were a strong pairing but a shame for the home fans.

They gotta go and perk up Bellucci now...

Spain vs Aut is confusing - too much red and white!

I think so too. He seeemed invincible for so long. Of course it couldn't last forever.

I wouldn't even be shocked if he wd from USO or lost 1R-3R.

Of course he might come back to win all 4 slams next year, but he's getting much closer to where Serena is at the moment.

Just me, or does the word banish(ed) conjure up images of witches and spells? ”

It makes me think of Romeo and Juliet - specifically the Baz Luhrmann version, because I'm not that cultured.

And them arms
That's the first thing I noticed about him, from way before he was top 10 (I think). They're always been *huge*

Venus is playing with Ram, so hopefully she is feeling better or maybe just doesn't want to sit through another Serena match!

ETA: I see the Santina split has made news ”

It's bit surprising? Thjey had such an excellent 2015, and split came really fast despite bad results this year, despite winning AO. Hmf.

As expected. Not necessarily these two players, but that one very unexpected player would compete for a medal was quite likely.

Im actually quite sad for Serena. She is one of the very few Americans I wanted to do well at Rio

Its weird, she had some bad months (by her standards) then she won W playing better than ever, now more problems.

Did she say anything about injury?
Is USO in danger?

Boring fact that people might already know, but every Olympics since 2004 Andy Murray has made the final of junior or senior US Open.

|'m hoping that he maintains this tradition.
