2nd place in medal table.
Rio Olympics 2016
- Thread starter LuisNaniencia
- Start date
much more fun tonight already than Super Saturday!
Cycling, tennis, boxing, athletics. I don't have enough screens!
The lack of replays in the tennis is infuriating
Bottled it was probably a bit harsh. But either way he played it safe and it looks like it cost him.
I would say that Murray is struggling here
I think this is Del Potro's time. Murray will make him work for it though
If it were best of 3 I could see Del Potro but over 5 Murray should do it, especially if he wins this first set.
Murry making lots of unforced errors, not like him.
Is it not over 3 sets ?
Yes.
Five for the final.
Del Potro must be on form if he's taken out Novak and Rafa tbf. Murray clung on.
Oh it is over five sets then.
He's a fantastic player when fit...someone who'd have probably got a few GS's to his name if it hadn't been for injuries. I think Murray will win out in the end, but it's been all over the place so far with all these breaks.
The Argentinians think it's a football match. 
This match could last a LONG time
del potro. Yes, please. So sad that his carrer was getting fecked by so many injuries
Too many things on at once! Del Potro is certainly a hairy fecker.
If this was a GS I'd be rooting for Del Potro. But g'warn Andyyyy
WOW Murray made hard work of that.
Get in Murray!!
Yes!
Go Murray. Beat the Argy.
Boom. 1st set Murray
Lonnnng first set, should take a lot out of Del Potro
Lonnnng first set, should take a lot out of Del Potro
His defense is insane. Reminds me of my game..
They keep going about the Nadal match must have knackered DP, but it was only a three setter ffs.Boom. 1st set Murray
Lonnnng first set, should take a lot out of Del Potro
It's incredible, really. Particularly when you think back to the 1996 Olympics when we only won 1 gold and finished 36th in the medals table. 20 years later and we're behind only the USA (which has 5 times our population but only about twice as many medals). Given the spread of medals across various events, I think we can make a strong case for being the best all-round sporting nation in the world.
Now, if only England could recreate that in football...
Del Potro looks knackered
Del Potro clapping Murray after losing a taxing point. Such a nice guy and a awesome player. I really really want him to start competing properly in slams again.
Fantastic achievement Dante
Didn't he make some your mum comment to Murray, years back?
Had to check, but should've known. Redgrave and Pinsent saved us from a dot year.
Would be interesting to know how much we spend in comparison to China and the USA.
What a talent hahahah
Not to derail the thread but there's a video of him a few years ago of him arguing with Murray in a match where he even mentions Andy's mother.
Delpo looks knackered already. Was hoping he'd win this, but having lost the first set, looks an impossible job for him out of 5 sets.
8 years ago guys, cmon!
I know, I saw the video on twitter for the first time in ages earlier today so was recently on my mind
