'Champions tie-break' sounds a bit gay.
London 2012 Olympic Competition
- Thread starter mariachi-19
- Start date
Tie break time.
Argh so much nerves
Double fault to start, pressure getting to Robson perhaps?
Better from Robson there. Come on!
Definitely.
She did well in the first set but then the pressure started to get to her I think. Saying that she did well just then.
Murray needs 2 good serves and they need at least 1 point back on the next Belarus serve. Ok one bit done come on.
Still only one break down. Couldn't Robson have whacked any of those shots at the net? She got lucky.
Lovely volley Robson, thought it was out but just floated in. Right back in it now.
Just caught the line mini break caught up.
Wow these mixed doubles matches are so topsy-turvy.
Robson is bottling it.
She's fecking this right up!
Needs a good Murray return here
Just let Murray hit everything! 
Dear Belarus,
Keep hitting it to Murray please.
Thanks.
Keep hitting it to Murray please.
Thanks.
Murray just needs to keep smashing it at Azarenka
Laura Robson is 18. Just think about that for a second.
Thats it I think
That's it I fear.
Robson is such an awful tennis player
Good serve Robson!

That's hardly fair, she's in the biggest game of her life against the women's number 1 and the mens doubles number 1.
Argh. ARghhh
Ah well, was a valiant effort and the better team won.
Robson is such an awful tennis player
She's 18 ffs! Can't stand these stupid comments.
Gutted for Murray/Robson...still a fantastic effort though.
Fair enough. Doesn't change the fact she consistently and without fail fecked nearly everything up. Belarus worked out they just had to hit the ball her way and she'd get it wrong.
Not that I'm too bothered - Murray got his gold in the men's singles!
Robson should let Murray give her one after the way she bottled this match.
Great effort from them just to get to the final, shame Robson's serve wobbled at the start of the tiebreak but this will have done her the world of good.
Ahhh. So gutted. They were really close there. Well done Murray and Robson for getting this far in the first place. Nobody expected that.
A silver medal is still amazing.

I bet she'd murder you in a game.
She's 18, and in the biggest match of her life to date, against the top seeded pairing. Of course there'll be a couple of errors.
She's 18 mate, and of course they'd hit it at her. Why would you hit it to the guy that just won the singles gold and consistently gets to Grand Slam finals?
18 is hardly that young for a tennis player on the women's tour. She's not good enough and she never will be - she's overhyped as always because she's British. There's a reason she consistently goes out in the early rounds on the senior tour, and it's not her age.
This is quite funny to read actually, anyone doubting Robson's talent is an imbecile, and clearly doesn't watch tennis. She's going to be a star, but apparently making a few mistakes under high pressure against players who are already well up there makes her terrible and a bottler, gotta laugh.
Also I find it ridiculous that men are allowed to serve to women in mixed doubles. It's almost a guaranteed point.

Very often that was the not the case though?
Going to be a star? Please.
Whatever, I'm pleased for Team GB to get the silver, and they never really stood a chance against the best team in the mixed doubles competition, but I'm not going to get sucked into an argument with a load of people frothing at the mouth to support Robson because she's British.

Well done to both of them as they did well to get to the final. The only difference in the end was the Belarus team were more experienced at this level and they targetted Robson forcing her into mistakes in trying to return the shots coming at her.
