2024 Olympic Games, Paris - Men’s Tennis (27 July - 4 Aug)

[jl809]

I get that Dandy are tired but the number of returns that aren’t even close to going in, on Paul’s serve, is not what we need

 

[jl809]

Broken, boooo

Americans ruining yet another farewell

 

[Terenigma]

Let's be honest here, Murray is about to retire, Evans is a journeyman who is in the latter stage of his own career at 34 and they are playing two borderline top 10 players who are in their prime age wise. This was always going to be a difficult match so there is no shame losing here. Was still a fun couple of matches from them!

 

[jl809]

ONE BREAK BACK YES

Edit: aaaannd it’s gone

 

[ibbi]

American dubz duo's shattering dreams and ending careers.

Andy Murray saves one more Career Point with a SMASH!

 

[Terenigma]

Awesome rally there and they are hanging on!

 

[Hitman]

Please don't die Murray

 

[ibbi]

That Fritz pickup on breakpoint was crazy.

 

[Terenigma]

4th break point chance this game. Still fighting!

 

[Hitman]

How many has Murray saved here?

 

[Terenigma]

They get the break!!

They're gonna have to do it once more after this to stay in the match but the fight from Murray is just so great to watch!

 

[Hitman]

LOL - Murray lives!!!

 

[jl809]

break back ahhahahaha

both guys started GOATing as soon as the MP flashed up lol

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Except for when it's time to win the Stanley Cup

 

[Lleytonstation]

FAA winning bronze would be the highlight of Canada's sports for the year.

 

[Hitman]

break back ahhahahaha

That's their thing.

 

[junior74]

Hustlin' Pubcrawlers back at it.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

FAA winning bronze would be the highlight of Canada's sports for the year.

Highlight of Canada sports for the year is the Canadian Women's Soccer team getting out of groups with a 6 point deduction.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

FAA winning bronze would be the highlight of Canada's sports for the year.

Felix/Dabrowski are also into the SF in the Mixed Doubles.

So he has two huge shots at an Olympic medal.

Canada better at hockey, soccer, tennis, and crazy country leaders.

Should've been kicked out for being dirty cheats and had the Gold from Tokyo taken off them to be honest.

We living the dream.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

We living the dream.

Happy for Summer McIntosh just winning gold in the 200m Butterfly 30 mins ago?

 

[Hitman]

Murray stay strong!

 

[Hitman]

Its over...

What a ride. thank you Andy Murray!

Watching it after the murray match lol, but I guess I am now.

 

[Terenigma]

Great fightback from Murray and Evans but he did himself proud here, showed why he is an ATG of tennis and will be remembered for a long time!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Watching it after the murray match lol, but I guess I am now.

**** sorry for spoiling mate!

 

[ibbi]

That's one of the better sportsmen this little island ever produced.

 

[junior74]

Last dance of Mudray

I remember talking to my mates in school back in 2005 when Murray reached the 3rd round.

I confidently said I believed would win Wimbledon, and I got made fun of.

Bless you Andy.

 

[jl809]

Oh guys. That was a perfect way to go out, one last dogfight

 

[Hood_Man]

Claire Balding summed it up on the BBC there; thank you.

Like when Federer retired last year, I can't believe that something that's been part of my life for 2 decades is over.

Very fitting

 

[Mainad]

Not important, most titles arnt defended after one year let alone 4, nobody really cares especially Olympics

I didn't say it was important but defence of a big title is still notable especially when it is done after a 4 year interval.

Tell me about it.

Standing, with my hat off, raising my glass. Here's to Andy the Lionheart, and a golden future ahead.
Rafa walking off court yesterday, Andy saying goodbye today seems momentous, even though neither had been able to play their game of recent.

Wonderful

It’s mostly luck in the Olympics otherwise you wouldn’t have Nico Massu and Marc Rosset with gold medals and Fed and Novak with zero

It’s an extra load to carry year for the top players. Yes the lower ranked guys also grind through the year but some of these lower ranked guys are getting a chance to take out a top player as country representation comes into it.

At Queens, the court now curses at you between points!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Ebden/Peers take the first set 7-5 over Paul/Fritz in the doubles.

Very tight set, both teams had opportunities but the Aussie doubles specialists just too good when it counted.

Come on Aussies, one more set and we fight for Gold!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Ebden/Peers in control now, go up the double break 3-0, serving for 4-0.

3 games away from the Gold Medal match

 

[Aussie Darcy]

THEY'VE DONE IT!

Australia are in the Gold Medal Doubles final.

Ebden/Peers defeats Fritz/Paul 7-5 6-2.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

It's the first time Aussies are in an Olympic Gold Medal match since the Woodies made the Men's Doubles final in Sydney.

Alicia Molik played the Bronze medal match (and won) in singles in Athens 2004.

And Barty/Peers played the Bronze medal match in Tokyo 2020 (they won thanks to Novak's withdrawal).

 

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

Someone actually believed Zverev a good candidate to win gold. Er....no.

 

[Bisquick]

What is Novak going on about with his coaches?

 

[TheSlicer]

I think he wins the title. I pre picked him before the tournament when Sinner withdrew and I’m sticking with it

Another great prediction
