Del Potro is so good when fit and on form.
Rio Olympics 2016
- Thread starter LuisNaniencia
- Start date
Murray not only battling with Delpo but also with the crowd.
He is going to have to dig deep to win this.

They aren't women(boxing). Clearly skinny blokes.
Right I stayed up till 4am last night watching the athletics but I've work tomorrow so will have to bow out now. Hopefully when I get up Murray has won this and Bolt has beat Gatlin.
I do think we should win an extra medal for our kits. Like, they look a bit shit, but at least we put effort in. Del Potro's polo just looks like someones prit-sticked an Argentina flag onto a blue polo shirt.
Yep, such a shame he's had so many injury problems. Could've had a few more GS's and tournament wins, probably in the same realm as Murray if he'd been fit a lot more.
89 % first serve, I take it that is pretty good ?
It's outstanding
Yes that's absolutely brilliant.
America has world class sporting infrastructure through their college system. China has 1/6 of the world's population and the regime know the value of looking good on the international stage. If we manage to hold on to second it will be an incredible achievement.
This is best of 5 right?
It goes even further - compare the average US secondary school facilities and coaching with that available in the average UK high school. No comparison. The whole organisation of school sports is just much more sophisticated and of a higher status.
New OR in the Pursuit from Hansen form Denmark (multi event as well)
looks like Murray has found his serve.
Good start in defending his title.
Yes some Scottish guys.
I know. The only equipment specifically for athletics we had at my school was a sand pit with the obligatory dog turd in it.
It is indeed.
Murray has lost it at the moment.
Cool. Should favour Murray just needs to stick with Del Potro whilst he's doing this and not let him run away from him.
Like a football match
Del Porto looks out on his feet
Our sand pit had a burnt out car in it once.
He's still hitting those forehands like bloody rockets though.
Well played Delpo. Got work in the morning, so will have to just find out the result in the morning
Del Potro looks like a lion
The strategy for London 2012 was to invest in whichever sports would maximise our medal return. It is an impressively strong performance but worth having the caveat that we've targeted sports where either the talent pool is thinner (eg those where only a certain cohort of countries compete) or where there are more medals at stake (eg swimming and cycling).
Are you sure?
Yes, I've got a bet on Murray winning 3-1 so it fecking better be.
Well I'm off to bed then. Good luck!
Shame injuries robbed DelPo from being part of the elite group of players.
Fantastic when fit.
Still hope he loses today though lol

Ouch, 1st man out
del potro is fecked
Match length thus far has been insane considering we're only two sets in. Will surely benefit Murray.
He's looked fecked from the off tbf. Maybe people are reading too much into it.
watching some crazy race with Cavendish.
demolition derby?
Its crazy but mad funCavendish been taken out of the race.
