Happy for Petra even though it was a crappy match - she really wanted that medal.

Crowd at this Nadal-Delpo match is insane. Feels like a football match.

well thats a break game for the rafa career highlight reel
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 13 August 2016 19:55 (seven years ago) link
another no doubt classic match for this week

delpo/murray best of 5 for goldrafa/nishi for bronze
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 13 August 2016 20:20 (seven years ago) link
Wonderful. Tomorrow's final is maybe the only time I'll be cheering against Team GB this Olympics. I was concerned the way he got mobbed by the Delpo-chanters he was going to get another injury. He still hasn't quite left the court.

del potto showing murray a lot of respect in the on-court interview, humble guy

puig!!
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 13 August 2016 22:51 (seven years ago) link
id forgotten she was only 22, wtg girl
that's the second night in a row i went to bed halfway through tennis matches and woken up to surprisingly thrilling results.
Didn't expect Puig to come back against Kvitova on Friday night, and just couldn't keep myself awake through Nadal-Delpo yesterday. And Puig winning the gold! So awesome. So much great tennis this Olympics - so sad i had to miss so much of it due to damn timezones.
― Roz, Sunday, 14 August 2016 05:41 (seven years ago) link
Puig and Delpo were so awesome yesterday, what a great tennis day
― lex pretend, Sunday, 14 August 2016 13:35 (seven years ago) link
Oh Kei. Set and a double break up vs Nadal but now into a decider.
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 14 August 2016 18:51 (seven years ago) link
what a great battle murray/del potro
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 14 August 2016 23:41 (seven years ago) link
delpo has great movement/coverage for his size and skills
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 14 August 2016 23:45 (seven years ago) link
Lol was complaining about having to miss matches because of sleep - today I woke up and the match is still going! Vamos Delpo!
(Also omg that last rally.)
― Roz, Sunday, 14 August 2016 23:45 (seven years ago) link
That Delpo pass was Murray-esque. <3
― Roz, Sunday, 14 August 2016 23:52 (seven years ago) link
Murray will prob finish this off though, seems crazy it's even gotten this far.
― Roz, Sunday, 14 August 2016 23:57 (seven years ago) link
I have no idea how they're still moving after all this...
― Jill, Sunday, 14 August 2016 23:59 (seven years ago) link
great play by both guys, wld luv to see a rematch @ usopen
― johnny crunch, Monday, 15 August 2016 00:05 (seven years ago) link
Congrats Murray and Team GB, but also to Delpo just for this whole week. Incredible stuff.
― Roz, Monday, 15 August 2016 00:09 (seven years ago) link
Whew, what a match. Regret not being able to see all the tennis I could but there was just too much going on.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 15 August 2016 00:12 (seven years ago) link
Murray's not my favourite player but god I love him when he does things like this: https://twitter.com/Rellimj/status/765009897356419072

Fell asleep after the second set (which was because I was hungover but the quality at that point wasn't helping either). Murray had the shortest ever purple patch in the first set and then it all got pretty scrappy.
Soooooo happy Nishikori got bronze. Rafa can sit all the way down re: complaining about anyone else taking too much time to do anything.
Annoying that they don't give points for this, I know competing for points isn't the "point" of the Olympics blah blah blah but forget the supposedly unseemly motivation*, the rankings should at least make some sense. After their heroics this week it's ridiculous that Puig falls a couple of spots to 35 (and won't be seeded at the USO) while Del Potro doesn't budge from 141 (and I think his protected ranking has expired, which means the Olympic silver medallist either needs WCs to enter main draws or will be stuck in qualies and Challengers).
*which isn't even the reason they stopped awarding points, the reason is the endless politicking between the ATP/WTA and ITF...

watching opelka @ cincy, he looks good!
hes in a 3d set tiebreak w chardy rn
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 00:01 (seven years ago) link
could def see him getting a wc for the open
i guess there are only really 3 discretionary slots the commentators were saying...still, seems crazy theyd make delpo have to play qualifiers
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 00:10 (seven years ago) link
Opelka is the new Isner, I intend to avoid his entire career (which I hope doesn't happen).
The USTA is a joke if they give a WC to some 150-ranked American over Delpo. But the reciprocal arrangement with AUS and FRA is worse because that's why there are so few discretionary slots to start with.
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 08:05 (seven years ago) link
obv I get why u say this but at 18 yr old he looks less awkward and moves better than isner ever has. groundstrokes look vaguely like delpo

bouchard was really in distress during that match, dunno what was up
glad del potro got the auto wc for the open (also happy that ram did)
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 17 August 2016 11:55 (seven years ago) link
wau @ the scoreline of coric over rafa
also stevie johnson over tsonga, johnson leapt isner as the highest ranked us male i believe w that

16 yr old kayla day v flipkens
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 20 August 2016 17:41 (seven years ago) link
day looks ok - lefty, good serve, good ct coverage just think flipkens is prob crafty enough to not let any16 yr old beat her
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 20 August 2016 18:19 (seven years ago) link
its really cool the scores app updates in real time pt by pt so i can know whats up on the ct behind me ~40 feet
