A storm is heading Wimbledon's way

Could be over before it arrives
Hahahaha

 

[DemonNite]

WTF? The gold medal match is best 3 out of 5 while the rest of the tournament is 2 out of 3? How is that fair?

I'm actually really worried about Murray's chances now, because Federer is so amazing in these 3 out of 5 matches...

welcome to non grand slam tennis

 

[Ark]

Here comes the comeback.

Come on Murray!

 

[Psychotext]

A storm is heading Wimbledon's way

THE MURRAY MONSOON.

 

[Damo Yoshi]

A storm is heading Wimbledon's way

Federer is adaptable.

 

[Meadows]

COME ON MURRAY COME ON!

 

[Adamm]

Men's pommel horse time!

 

[Kurtofan]

Go Tommasone, win a pommel horse gold!

 

[Shadow780]

Syncho swim is awesome

 

[Diprosalic]

welcome to non grand slam tennis

the olympics is the only tournament with that format.

 

[DemonNite]

if the roof closes it favours Federer (just like the wimbledon final) so I please hope the forecasts are wrong

 

[mcfrank]

the olympics is the only tournament with that format.

The Masters were this way until a few years ago

 

[Natetan]

Syncho swim is awesome

im kind of enjoying the commentary. i had no idea there were all these technical items that teams had to perform.

 

[Diprosalic]

china sweeped badminton winning all golds.

The Masters were this way until a few years ago

already mentioned it above

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

That's what we need Roger, now earn some break points

 

[ElectricBlue187]

if the roof closes it favours Federer (just like the wimbledon final) so I please hope the forecasts are wrong

Hard to imagine it having the effect of reversing the abject failure Federer is having right now

 

[MIMIC]

Tennis masters tournaments used to be a best of 5 format in the finals (while the other rounds were best of 3).

They've since abandoned that format; all rounds are Bo3

 

[DemonNite]

the olympics is the only tournament with that format.

wow I must've missed the news

 

[AngryMoth]

Besides the shear wonderment of Murray beating Fed in 3, it would also be great for him to have plenty left in the tank for his other final

 

[Meadows]

NICE GAME MURRAY

COME ON!

 

[Akito]

Federror still in da house

 

[Damo Yoshi]

HMM.

Net being pelted by Federer.

 

[Psychotext]

Besides the shear wonderment of Murray beating Fed in 3, it would also be great or him to have plenty left in the tank for his other final

Seems a shame that he'd have to go into the second match so soon. Him and Laura winning would be epic.

 

[planar1280]

Fyi this is federers first final at the olympics in singles

 

[TylerD]

Guys the big girls are lifting. Early in the snatch right now.

 

[Ark]

Fyi this is federers first final at the olympics in singles

Which makes it all the more exciting and tense.

 

[Psychotext]

Guys the big girls are lifting. Early in the snatch right now.

Thanks.

Edit - FUuuuuuuck. That could have been nasty.

 

[DemonNite]

Federbot targeting malfunction

 

[planar1280]

Which makes it all the more exciting and tense.

In 2004 federer was starting to peak, in 2008 nadal peaked and in 2012 federer is in the final years of his career

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Uh oh Federer up 2-1

 

[Meadows]

Seems a shame that he'd have to go into the second match so soon. Him and Laura winning would be epic.

he has a great chance in the mixed doubles

belarus aren't great

 

[killer_clank]

Uh oh Federer up 2-1

that's entirely normal.

 

[zero_suit]

Uh oh Federer up 2-1

Still on serve..

 

[fuenf]

if the roof closes it favours Federer (just like the wimbledon final) so I please hope the forecasts are wrong

the situation isnt comparable, if anything the stadium would get even louder if the roof closes.

 

[Remyzero]

Fyi this is federers first final at the olympics in singles

This is what it feels like to have an entire country on your shoulders.

 

[Clegg]

Why can Murray do this in the Olympic final but not in a Slam, when it actually matters?

 

[Diprosalic]

In 2004 federer was starting to peak, in 2008 nadal peaked and in 2012 federer is in the final years of his career

got a bit unlucky with the olympic scheduling.

 

[Y2Kev]

WTF happened on vault???

 

[numble]

WTF happened on vault???

McKayla landed on her ass on 2nd vault.
Her feet touched first so it wasn't a zero score, though. But it's still a 1 point deduction.

 

[Kurtofan]

bummer for the pommel horse, likely no medal for France fuck.

 

[Tea and Toast]

Why can Murray do this in the Olympic final but not in a Slam, when it actually matters?

Less pressure probably. He's even said it's the most fun he's had in a tournament.

 

[Desmond]

Great Badminton final.

 

[fuenf]

WTF happened on vault???

her first wasnt as perfect as before and she fell on the second. the second had a 6.1 difficulty while everyone else did far easier ones, she could've done a 5.x one and win quite comfortably...

 

[TylerD]

McKayla landed on her ass on 2nd vault.

All 350lbs of Holley Mangold almost ended up on her ass.

 

[clemenx]

Meh, in 2004 it was a straight upset. He should've won.

I want Fed to come back but I don't know if I want a 5 hour match, lol. Just win Murray.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Federer looked absent that whole point

 

[Xun]

Why can Murray do this in the Olympic final but not in a Slam, when it actually matters?

He's gotten better since reaching the final.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

BBC commentators are gonna jinx it.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Guys the big girls are lifting. Early in the snatch right now.

Mangold looked like she was about to fall off the platform with the weights. Holy shit!

very true but this gold at Wimbledon is a once in a lifetime opportunity in front of your home crowd. Wimbledon will come again next year.
