[kairosntx]

I know u r in Hong Kong... but based on the scores you are giving, I think you are about a minute ahead of our online feed in the US

 

[0range]

Okay Gonzo please just hold serve now. HOLD SERVE!!

 

[TennisandMusic]

Crud. I wanted to stay up for the Nadal match but this may be too much if Gonzalez takes the second set.

 

[kairosntx]

Chi-Le ... Chi-Le ... Chi-Le

 

[edmondsm]

Blake really bricked that volley.

Yeah im actually about to nap for like 90 mins and I have my alarm set.

 

[norbac]

Is there a final set tie-break in the Olympics?

 

[TennisandMusic]

Yeah im actually about to nap for like 90 mins and I have my alarm set.

I really can't wait until tennis is over, I have to admit. :lol:

Nope.

10 char.

 

[0range]

So Rog's doubles team is in the semi's now... playing the Bryans tonite.

Well I hope Rog's team will at least get a silver for consolation prize..

 

[0range]

Hmph Gonzo volleys.

 

[MichaelNadal]

I really can't wait until tennis is over, I have to admit. :lol:

Yeah I have to work at 4pm. Still no sleep from yesterday. Damn why are Nadal/Djoko matches so must see!!

 

[edmondsm]

U see that volley. I hate to say it but FG deserves this match at this point.

 

[pound cat]

stadium packed lots of vocal Chilean and uS supporters

 

[edmondsm]

I like how these guys towel off after a point but then quickly get back to tennis.

 

[pound cat]

good match

 

[edmondsm]

Ahhh the crowd starts chanting. Great atmosphere.

 

[edmondsm]

Oooooooooooooooooo

 

[edmondsm]

Still two break points

 

[0range]

Not "ooooooooo" yet Ed, no break, still at deuce.

 

[edmondsm]

Lucky...Gonzo get a couple line calls.

 

[edmondsm]

What a game.....

 

[daddy]

So how's the clash between two big forehands of the game going ? tie ?

 

[0range]

I see that the stadium has filled up nicely; it was so empty when the match started.

If Gonzo lose this serve his finished. Better hold serve Gonzo!

3rd set 3-all.

 

[daddy]

3rd set 3-all.

i just turned it on, its noon here. It was more of - how do they play, how do they look ? Who's got the better chance now ?

 

[edmondsm]

He does hold serve......great match.

Just like people predicted... ball bashing, lots of big forehands.. lots of unforced errors and winners...

 

[rubberduckies]

Very good match. Much higher quality than the Fed-Blake match. Wow, Gonzo just came back from 0-40.
I need this to end soon, so I can nap before Joker-Nadal.

 

[daddy]

Well James Blake got two points from his backhand, thats something. One winner and one forced error from his backhand. Also this tourney has had a fair share of volleying if you guys noticed it .. more than Wimby.

 

[kairosntx]

Gotta love the OHBH from both players!

 

[kairosntx]

I get off work in 2 hours. What time does the Djoko/Nadal match start?

 

[daddy]

Gotta love the OHBH from both players!

Aint they too flat for your taste ? Streaky shot if you ask me, if its off you lose period.

 

[kairosntx]

Hard and flat. Grip it and rip it.
