Well i'm gonna say it anyway as long it goes on, regardless of whether it's tiresome to anyone else, they are just gonna have to deal with it.

Anyway, what on Earth is going on with Johnson? Wonder if he would do another Fognini and step up in the 2nd set.
Well email the BBC and complain to them not us because a). there is nothing we can do about it and b). we aint interested.

Nah can't see it panning out like yesterday. Johnson has a bronze medal match later so won't be busting too much of a gut here, IMO.

He's not going to hold back just because he has a bronze medal match later. He's used to playing 2 matches a day sometimes. I think he had to play twice at Nottingham.

None of us have ever played for an Olympic medal before

Anyway, it's back on serve now so crisis averted.

No chance of any player holding back in this position.

His mini walkabout is like one of those roundabouts when you are lost. You find yourself going round it a few times looking like a complete twit then realise which exit it is and indicate with authority and an assertive lane change.

Just me probs though.

Oops I misread on the Flash score app and for some reason I thought it was 2-1 back on serve. Never mind

That must be the first time she's won 3 matches in a row since her injury break. Glad that Tara is recovering - she's the only Brit to make the US Open qualifying (the week after next so she has time to build up her strength).

This second set is quickly getting away. But it is at least a quicker match than yesterday...seems like it anyway.

Only Brit both men and women? Hopefully she can play fully fit.

I despair of Laura's ball toss though - has there been any other player with such a inconsistent toss? I watched some of the match as it was streamed and Laura was taken to deuce a few times but managed to push on through. Hopefully gives her some well needed confidence.

ETA: Right Andy. Get your laser beam focus on and get him. Bring him down.

Another poor set from Andy. He won't be able to do that against Delpo, Kei or Rafa if they meet.
