BMS is wearing a normal outfit.
I quite like the GB outfits.
Beth is still rocking some stars and stripes accessories though.

[quote=Jenny1986;83546227]So Rafa and Marc were quite happy weren't they?

I'm so happy as well, Gold or Silver medal! I wouldn't mind trading places with Marc for that celebration.[/QUOTE]

Neither would I Jenny! So Happy for them Can't wait to see Garbi and Rafa play together, Hope he doesn't get on top of her like he did Marc if they get to the final of the mixed doubles.

Ha! Garbi might get on top of him...? would totally need a health warning!

Jamie keeps jumping in and leaving the court wide open.

Sock/BMS take 1st set 6-4. Jamie had adv on his serve a few times but couldn't close it out.

Both tennis players in a pair have to wear the same (allowing for gender). The GB kit seems to be much more in your face than other teams.

Andy and Watson doing better than Jamie and Konta so far.

Again Jamie leaves the court wide open. Trust your partner more Jamie.

Must be a bit hard though? They've not played together before, takes time to get rhythm?

ETA: rumbling on twitter that Lopez might play with Garbi.

Yes but he's jumping in to intercept Jo's shots all the time leaving her to chase down the shots he should be hitting.

It would be funny if doubles specialist Jamie lost and Andy won. Looks like it's going that way.

Someone should have a word with him about it then...

Hev/Andy break!

ETA: Mahut out of mixed.

Looks like Garbine and Rafa have withdrawn from the mixed doubles. Schedule showing Stepanek and Hradecka through without playing.

Rafa is probably knackered after all that Karma Sutra sex with Lopez earlier.

I actually hope that is true, as much as i'd love to see Garbi/Rafa. He has got further than expected and needs to look after himself. He's guaranteed a medal now and doesn't need the extra event.

thread is going too quick.

Andy has a silver medal. Jamie, as much as I like him, does not and other than playing with JJ and winning all that time ago, how much does he play mixed, I wonder?

ETA: GB broken back.

I'd love to know how many variations of the GB kit there are. I don't think I've seen the same tennis dress more than once all week. I think Hev might be wearing the best version.

Bah, Andy.

I'm sorry, but I just don't like CSN.
