Oooh Mike - I think you may have just jinxed him. That's a bit like the commentator's curse.

That would be my preferred option Jewels. Whilst I really hope it's nothing more serious I wouldn't be at all impressed if it was just because he didn't get the medal.
Anyway in his absence I was going to revert to supporting Nadal but Delpo's resurgence has caused a dilemma.

Never been a Konta fan but that was a great match last night and I was very impressed by the mental and physical strength she showed to get through.

I didn't say it would happen, usually the curse happens when comms states something is deffo gonna happen

A bit like that BBC gymnastic comm who was raving about Louis Smith just before he went off the pommel horse.

Who'd be a commentator eh?

W&S Open @CincyTennis
Sad to announce that No.1 Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the 2016 tournament due to recurring left wrist injury.

Djokovic out of Cincy, that's the only Masters he hasn't won isn't it?

And Dolgopolov makes yet another first round exit - in Mexico this time to someone I've never heard of - well the name sounds vaguely familiar.
Tennis doesn't appear to be his priority of late.
Where's that 'shakes head' emoji when you need it.

Well the rain delays might mean that Nadal doesn't have to play all 3 matches in one day....or he plays one long giant match with Garbi and Marc Lopez making special appearances!

Meanwhile in ITF action Laura Robson has managed to win a main draw match, albeit after dropping the first set against Ksenia Lykina (ranked about 60 places higher than Laura). She's scheduled for a rematch with Tara Moore in round 2, if Tara can get past Melanie Oudin. Katie Boulter (who qualified) had a good win against Jarmila Wolfe (née Gajdošová, formerly Groth).

Emily Webley-Smith (another qualifier) is on court now and a set down to top seed Elise Mertens. Freya Christie lost yesterday to 2nd seed Ekaterina Alexandrova.

At the Aptos ATP Challenger top seed Dan Evans plays Emilio Gomez tonight. Qualifier Cameron Norrie beat the 5th seed yesterday.

I know the BBC has a lot of clout, but they don't control the Rio weather.
