Right. Here's the points breakdown for the tournaments

Slams: 2,000
World Tour Finals: 1,500 (if undefeated)
Masters: 1,000
Olympics: 750
500: 500
250: 250

Right. The US Open is in roughly three weeks. From a strategic standpoint, you wouldn't want to injure yourself in the Olympics when a GS is only weeks away.
 
On a more serious question, why didnt the US have another girl in the vault finals? They all did amazing in the team / all around events and countries like Canda or Germany had 2 girls in the competition.
 
I think Murray might have picked Wimbledon over a gold but not any of the other slams. It clearly meant a lot to the players today. In the build up Mac and co were talking about how gold should be worth as much as a slam in terms of world ranking points and that its ridiculous that its only worth 700.

John McEnroe was a great player, horrible announcer. He always references matches from when he played/how the game is different now/and why there should be a 5th set tiebreak.
 
would be super cool if robson can get a gold. hope murray is still running on the adrenaline of the singles final and carries his form over.

when Mac was still playing absolutely no one cared about the gold

Best 8 on vault from All-Around, not Team, go through.

I think you're only allowed 2 from one country per event.

Edit: oops misread what you said
 
Not just beat, demolished.

You're not very good at this trolling thing.

A better troll on Murray would be to say that Fed and Djokovic weren't giving it their all and that they'd much rather win a Grand Slam, the most important tournaments in their sport. Something that Murray hasn't been able to do because he isn't good enough. The absence of Nadal also means that Murrays achievement should be marked with as asterisk because theres no way he would have beaten him.

A troll on Federer would be something like old man Fed is on the downward slope and his career will forever be tarnished because he couldn't win a gold medal.

Fed wouldn't have beat Nadal either..
 
I will end my part in the discussion by saying this: What Andy Murray has done for his country today is MASSIVE. M-A-S-S-I-V-E. But from a tennis standpoint, he still has a lot of work to do.
 
Murray really has a good chance of winning a major.

Nadal is injured at the moment and Fed doesn't seem able to sustain his form over long periods of time. Djokovic as seems to be slowing down after his amazing 18 month run of winning everything.
