Nadal wins the first point in the deciding set. 15-0.
Nadal/Lopez up a DOUBLE break, 5-2. A game away from taking the first set, and then Nadal will be tantalisingly close to his 2nd ever gold medal.
Nadal is going to get that ball nice and high to Del Potro's aching wrist, for at least 2 hours, until it gives way. The only thing Del Potro will be eating for breakfast is a bronze medal match.
Not only that - if they win, he'll be only the 4th in the Open Era to have gold in singles & doubles.
Venus, Serena .... I don't remember who the third person is.
Trying not to count chickens, though. Nobody here is playing to lose.
Delpo's wrist is fine now or didn't you get the news? I hope this doubles match can last another hour so Nadal hurts a little.

Nicolas Massu won singles + doubles gold in 2004.
I am a Nadal Fan. But from what I have seen, Delpo is playing well. I would rather Nadal win ofcourse
maybe he'll drop dead overnight from exhaustion
INCREDIBLE tennis on display. Mergea daring to go toe to toe with Nadal from the baseline and gets punished. BP for Nadal.
But a doubles is a gold medal regardless.Delpo will totally cream Rafa tomorrow. This rather mentally and physically taxing match will ensure of that.
He isn't going to win a doubles gold. Aren't you watching?But a doubles is a gold medal regardless.
Nadal/Lopez are not winning this, Tecau/Mergea are just too strong.
They did waste some of the chances but tons of those break points were saved by Mergea - that guy has ice in the veins.That's game, set and match. Can't say the Spaniards don't deserve it. They had so many chances.
can't finesse your way too this...amazing Nadal and Lopez has done as well as they have w/o a big serve..Nadal would be part of a great doubles team if he could play Lopez' role and he had a big, preferably right-handed, server with him
way too experienced too, strategy-wise much better
