Blake [15] vs. Gonzalez [15], Olympics Semi

[Hot Sauce]

I thought it hit. But from my stream they didn't show a replay. If it did, I would expect for Gonzo to admit it.

 

[pound cat]

What seems to be the problem? He didn't ask for hawkeye, but he's in a discussion with the umpire.

He said it touched Gonzo's racket

 

[oranges]

He said it touched Gonzo's racket

Ah, doubtful, it looked as if moved his head out of the way

 

[TennisandMusic]

Ah, doubtful, it looked as if moved his head out of the way

The ball seemed to have clearly changed directions as it "passed" by gonzalez.

Gonzalez breaks. Honestly if I were James I'd be wanting to go after him right about now. Getting a shot right at me, and some apparent cheating. I'm pretty disappointed in Gonzalez, I didn't realize he could be a dirty player.

 

[huskersak]

It appears that Blake is going to let that no call ruin his day. That is too bad.

 

[pound cat]

Gonzo to try and serve it out...10-9

 

[Zaragoza]

Gonzo breaks and will serve for the match

 

[gj011]

Gonzo breaks. 10-9. Serving for the final.

 

[rafan]

Never seen so many wrong calls in a match and this is supposed to be the olympics !!!!

 

[Seany]

Bad sportmanship Gonzo, you clearly touched that ball.

Shame on you, this the olympics.

 

[huskersak]

After replay, it shows that it sure did hit Gonzos racquet.

 

[pound cat]

you can hear everything on court if you have no commentators...it's great

 

[Hot Sauce]

I was afraid that controversial point would get to him. Too bad.

 

[oranges]

Nice forehand winner by Gonzo, followed by UE by Blake and Gonzo serves for the match

 

[huskersak]

Gonzo deserves to take some guff for that if he goes on to win this match.

 

[daddy]

Ah, doubtful, it looked as if moved his head out of the way

It was a touch and Gonzo is a ***** for not admitting but I understand, its the olympic semi.

 

[TennisandMusic]

It was a touch and Gonzo is a ***** for not admitting but I understand, its the olympic semi.

How can you say that?! Circumstances dictate the appropriateness of cheating?!

 

[gj011]

Blake saves 1st MP.

and 2nd. 40-30.

 

[daddy]

Come on choke biatch ..

 

[TennisandMusic]

Wow! Gonzo goes right at him AGAIN! Time for some fisticuffs.

 

[Seany]

Great Play Balke

 

[daddy]

How can you say that?! Circumstances dictate the appropriateness of cheating?!

I do not aprove, just understand why he did it. Biatch choked and Blake hit everything at him, 3MP saved back.

 

[oranges]

It was a touch and Gonzo is a ***** for not admitting but I understand, its the olympic semi.

I didn't see a replay, but shouldn't the umpire have seen it if he touched it?

 

[gj011]

Wow Gonzo loses 3 MP on his serve. 40-40

 

[daddy]

I didn't see a replay, but shouldn't the umpire have seen it if he touched it?

That is the whole point. He had to.

 

[oranges]

Blake is hanging in there, deuce.

 

[Telepatic]

DF on 4 MP lol

 

[NADALwonWIMBLEDONagain]

It would be understandable for Gonzo to cheat in a US Open semi-final (where the financial rewards are so great) but its not understandable for him to cheat at the Olympics (where integrity is supposed to be a big deal).

 

[kairosntx]

Wow Gonzo loses 3 MP on his serve. 40-40

Looks like your ahead of me by about 30 secs.

 

[gj011]

DF on 4th MP 40-40 again

 

[huskersak]

Gonzo needs to step up, he knows the entire world will see that he touched it on replay. He should have done the right thing.

 

[Seany]

Umpire didnt see it, Gonzo knew it, didnt say anything....shame on Gonzo.

 

[gj011]

Looks like your ahead of me by about 30 secs.

Probably your stream has delay. I am watching this on TV.

Gonzo wins. 11-9

 

[Seany]

Gonzo doesn't deserve a medal.

 

[Darth Nihilus]

Any stream of this? Any link I could use? I know its over but for future matches. Thanx

 

[huskersak]

Boy, thats a shame Blake let that one point screw with his mind like that. He had too good of a week to lose the next three games.

 

[TennisandMusic]

I'm extremely disappointed. Gonzo should be suspended from the sport. I know it seems harsh but there is ZERO room for blatant cheating. A complete and utter disgrace, and I can never root for him again. I'm not even a Blake fan at all, but that is just horrible stuff.

 

[pound cat]

Gonzo overcome with emotion...it was a case of too bad one of them had to lose

 

[BreakPoint]

Total BS!!! How many break points/match points did Blake blow in that match?

I`m glad Chile is in the finals over USA..

It would be understandable for Gonzo to cheat in a US Open semi-final (where the financial rewards are so great) but its not understandable for him to cheat at the Olympics (where integrity is supposed to be a big deal).

It is not understandable to cheat in any instance. He is an ******* and showed his character.

 

[Challenger]

I've lost a lot of respect for Gonzo today. I was never the biggest Blake fan, but he should be proud of the run he had in the Olympics.

 

[Hot Sauce]

It's 'understandable' by any circumstances. We, as fans, understand that the players want to win, even if it means doing something like this. However, it is not acceptable, appropriate, or justified by any means.

Not a surprising result. It is silly to expect Blake to win just because he beat Federer. Federer sucks these days and he is actually pretty easy to beat. Blake's win over Federer had pretty much nothing to do with Blake and everything to do with how bad Federer is these days. So Gonzalez a player who has owned Blake should have been expected to beat him and did.

 

[SonRK]

Although Gonzales should have admitted to what had happened, it shouldn't have happened at all if Blake converted any of those 3 BPs and 3 Match Points. Tough loss for Blake, I was hoping he would pull it through, especially after saving 4 MPs

This is true, but 0-15 is a lot different from 15-0 in a game of that magnitude. He's a cheater. Period. His medal is tainted.

 

[NADALwonWIMBLEDONagain]

Like I said it is understandable why certain players would cheat in the US Open. But you'd have to be a very low character to do it in the Olympics. I'm not saying I'd do it at the US Open btw, I'd never cheat. But it's understandable that "certain" players would cheat to get bigger prizemoney. No prize money at the Olympics though, so its really a disgrace to "cheat for a gold medal".

Eh, I can remember that earlier this year Robredo did something like this, or similar but can not recall what was it, anyone else ? While people whine abut Nadal and Djokovic they'd never do anything like this ...
