Crazy to think that both Federer and Djokovic won't have a single Gold medal in their career.
Great match by Zverev, maybe he'll finally get some German questions in the press conference
Fed won Doubles Gold tbf.
Djokovic might win Mixed Doubles Gold this Olympics.
Federer and Nadal fans

Djokovic could well compete again in 3 years, unless he's signalled otherwise
Great comeback from Zverev. Went up another gear after smashing his racquet. People will still shit on the next Gen players though.
He's not winning Gold aged 37 on clay.
Tough loss today, up a set and a break, almost finished Zverev off.
It does look like the gruelling conditions took their toll after an hour out there.
Nothing to see here once more at the Chemist Games…
Love the excitement on the face of Ellen Whyte when she scores, one hell of a striker…
You think they are suddenly all doping in the latter stages of their careers?
It's the new Nike ZoomX Dragonfly spikes which are making all the difference in the world - basically the equivalent of the LZR Racer Speedo swimming suits in Beijing 2008 which are now forbidden because they gave too much of an advantage. Same for the new spikes, the difference is apparently mind blowing.
Combine that with an extra year of training due to covid, the warm weather / hot air in Tokyo and not a lot of wind, and you get top times.
Team GB give away a goal in the dying minutes some match this, women’s football..
Into extra time it goes. We've had quite enough of this already this summer
It’s definitely going to penalties tooInto extra time it goes. We've had quite enough of this already this summer
10k coming up. Really looking forward to Cheptegei. Ran a 26’11” in October last year 
Missing their penalties early I see
This Aussie keeper has been a hero in extra time, wouldn’t fancy penalties..
Pleased for the Canadian ladies team, they seemed properly amazed to have beaten Brazil.
And....that's Team GB done for.

Awww heartbreak for team GB massive deflection..
Very poor penalty by GB, and now punished by a wicked deflection. 2-3.
Doesn't look like it's going there! Unlucky deflection there.
Been a good game.
And that is that. 2-4.
Miedema is class.
That mixed 4x 400m relay was exciting
Team GB could literally push 20 yards up the pitch here and just have a sweeper keeper. Why are they punting it from 40 yards?
3-4...
Come on team GB, one more!
I've just heard GB only conceded two in the whole tournament before today. The defence looked very poor when their opponents shifted it wide; no closing down the delivery and not enough aggression in the middle. For the Aussies' second goal (?) the striker was given a ridiculous amount of time to control the ball and finish.
All in all a great effort but between some bad play at the back and the missed penalty there's a great deal to rue from this defeat.

I love this Kissa guy
The pen GB got looked incredibly soft, only one angle on the replays that I saw so maybe there is another one which clarifies it.
GB played some really good football at times, better team in general play but gave away horrible goals.

Great race
Last K pace is just absolutely nuts. Humans are amazing.
Distance running is actually the one pure athletic talent humans have among mammals. Many other mammals are quicker, way more powerful (without even having to train for it) but over distance humans have a real biological advantage.
Not sure about that. I'm not expecting a tiger to jog for 8800m and sprint in the last 1200m to hunt
The 10000m, how the hell do they sprint finish, just amazing.
Why on earth didn't the proper striker on a hattrick take that penalty
The Netherlands is playing really well against the USWNT.
Feels like I need to watch the table tennis final at 0.75 speed.
The mixed relay is fun. Crazy to see the man running with the women and the difference.
Shocking penalty by Martens. I've never seen her play well in orange.
