[rondun]

[traveller7]

They are going to have a bit longer for next match as the mens doubles hasnt finished its first set yet its in a tiebreak

[Sallydaisy]

The Mens Doubles Bronze match has just into a 2nd set.

Frenchmen Benneteau/Gasquet took the first 7'6(4) against Spaniards Ferrer/Lopez.

[jaysee]

Claire Balding just said it will be on BBC1 shortly :-) (Always assuming the spaniards do the decent thing and get off the court...)

Have they mentioned what the forfeit is? :)

[Sallydaisy]

Have they mentioned what the forfeit is? :)

Just me speculating but I'm sure they'll want to be off court quickly for Andy's sake so setting a target has to be a possibilty knowing what Andy and his team are like.

[Sallydaisy]

Andy's serve under threat *15-40!!!

[Manaus]

15-40, pressure on Andy's serve, please hold!

Nerve wrecking but by god they have played well esp andy and laura so impressed by her tonight

[Jane]

What a shame!!!!!:sad:

[Manaus]

Not a good start DF by Laura. :sad:

[traveller7]

I think they prob chose Laura to serve first as its only 1 point so if she lost (as she did) then it was a loss of only 1 point

[traveller7]

And a DF by Kas makes them have a mini break

[Manaus]

DF by Kas now, 2-1 GB.

[traveller7]

Laura Robson - first Brit female to win a Tennis Olympic medal in open era.

Aww I want them all to get Medals! (well not Kas 'cos he's a bit too Karlovic looking for me) but I would love Sabine to get a bronze, just cos she lights up the court when she smiles... but enough about the Germans!

Andy and Laura for Gold with a Brit crowd roaring them home tomorrow please!

[rainy days]

YEEEEEEEEEEEES! At least two silver medals secured. :D


If I'd have to chose though, I'd still want Andy to win the singles Gold rather than the doubles. But let's hope he gets them both. ;)

[lynne]

Would you believe it.......................Sheer Magic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:GBflag::bravo::GBfl ag:

[VamosVixs]

Amazing!!!!! :clap::GBflag:

[Bardot]

Would you adam & eve it? :clap::clap::clap: They are unbeatable CTB players! Andy was a rock throughout but Laura was superb especially against Kas. In the final we just have to accept that Laura winning her service is always a bonus. ;)

[Niknak's Mum]

Unbelievable .... and I'm crying tears of joy AGAIN! :GBflag: :olympics:

[Manaus]

Going to be some day tomorrow regardless of what happens. :)
So happy for both Andy and Laura. Hopefully Andy won't have used up too much energy, he'll need it tomorrow.

WOOOOT!

I agree with this! Sabine ('Boom Boom' as she is known) is so proud to be playing for her country, and fights so hard - I am a big fan of hers too.

I liked Andy's comment that a medal is a medal, irrespective of whether it's singles or doubles. Absolutely bang on.

[JennieF]

I'm lost for words and all I can keep saying is YES YES YES!!! Bravo Andy and Laura - you make a cracking good doubles team. Future champions for sure! I'm over the moon, simply over the moon. Can't wait for tomorrow. :GBflag::GBflag::GBflag:

So glad I got home in time to see the end of that match - soooo :excited: for tomorrow ..... not moving from the sofa!!!!

Speak of match winning points, just watched the Bryan Brothers win the doubles gold and their match winning point was probably more remarkable than Andy & Lauras, how fantastic has the Olympic tennis been? :clap:

[cazza99]

judy murray ‏@judmoo

I can honestly say I have NEVER been more excited in my life. Unbelievable kids!!!!!! @laurarobson5 and @andy_murray U R AMAZING!!!

Alexandra Willis ‏@alex_willis

So @laurarobson5, aged 18, will have a gold or silver medal to hang in her bedroom. I think that beats an RF pin... ;)

[Jan]

They won??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got home! That's amazing!!!

[RoastLamb]

Two guaranteed medals for Andy - unreal. Really I can't get over this. So exciting and amazing. And one for Laura too aged 18. Stunning.

[cazza99]

Neil Harman ‏@NeilHarmanTimes

Laura Robson will be the youngest tennis medallist for 20 years, since Jennifer Capriati

[JennieF]

So glad I got home in time to see the end of that match - soooo :excited: for tomorrow ..... not moving from the sofa!!!!
Nor me.....it'll be a day to remember for sure. I think Andy will be on a roller and will play real exciting stuff. Something for Fed to think about. I'd love it MORE THAN ANYTHING if Andy denied Fed the gold. Don't want to sound mean or anything.

[rainy days]

Yup, denying Fed would be the best thing ever. And it would probably change EVERYTHING.

Double Gold would be even more exciting. I think a lot will depend on the singles match. If Andy wins that he will probably go on and win the doubles with Laura as well. If not then it will be hard, since both possible opponents are really strong. But nothing is impossible.

[cazza99]

They are being interviewed on BBC1 now.

[Bardot]

‏@SI_BTBaseline
Per NBC, Andy Murray's mixed doubles final will be played BEFORE his best-of-five singles final.

Surely this can't be the case!.......and it's not!


@BenRothenberg
In fact, ITF has already released tomorrow's schedule confirming it. Women's doubles final first, then men's singles, then mixed.

[rainy days]

Oh, okay then. The other way around would most likely be fatal.

[Sallydaisy]

NBC are wrong. This is the OOP from the ITF website.

oh that's good - I should be home from church and although we have a few extra for lunch, they all know I'm tennis mad!
I may not post much - I don't know if it's the internet or our computer, but it's taking an age to load pages on the forum, and when I try to post it often messes about and takes forever, so my posts appear late and make no sense :grrr:

[-J-]

Yup, denying Fed would be the best thing ever. And it would probably change EVERYTHING.

Double Gold would be even more exciting. I think a lot will depend on the singles match. If Andy wins that he will probably go on and win the doubles with Laura as well. If not then it will be hard, since both possible opponents are really strong. But nothing is impossible.na winning gold would be everything, denying fed is just the silver lining

[rainy days]

I think it's important that it's Fed who has to be beaten. Overcoming both Federer and Djokovic in one tournament would give him a confidence boost. I think if he wins tomorrow he is also a strong fave for the USO.

[Katie]

So pleased that Andy and Laura won! They've made such a brilliant team. Really hope they win the gold tomorrow. :)

[scrapaddict]

Brilliant match from the Brits - agree that if Andy beats Fed (most important) he will be so pumped that he and Laura will probably win. BUT if he loses to fed he will still want A gold medal so maybe anger will spur him on!
Good luck to them both

[cazza99]

Anne Keothavong ‏@annekeothavong

@laurarobson5 @andy_murray AMAZING!!! Go and get the Gold medal and do us proud!

Laura Robson ‏@laurarobson5

Olympic final tomorrow. Can't even explain how happy I am right now. #goteamGB!

Jonathan Overend ‏@5livetennis

I hear @laurarobson5 is madly collecting Olympic Pins. I'll give her my (sought-after) (valuable) golden BBC pin if she wins gold tomorrow

BBCKheredine ‏@BBCKheredine

The @andy_murray medals tomorrow mean the Scottish Olympians will equal their best ever tally of 9 Olympic medals within teamGB.

[Madeline]

Does Andy get any rest between the singles and mixed doubles? Schedules usually say "after suitable rest" but that would mean Centre Court standing idle.

[rainy days]

^ Usually at least an hour between matches.

[Helen40]

Beeb up to their usual standard of reporting. Apparently Watson and Marray tomorrow. :grrr:

[cazza99]

I should think they will postpone the medal ceremony until after the mixed too.

[Sallydaisy]

Beeb up to their usual standard of reporting. Apparently Watson and Marray tomorrow. :grrr:.

Have you got a link for where they refer to Watson and Marray?

[Sallydaisy]

Does Andy get any rest between the singles and mixed doubles? Schedules usually say "after suitable rest" but that would mean Centre Court standing idle.
Well, they usually an hour for 'rest' and I think tomorrow they'll do the Mens Singles and Ladies Doubles Medal Ceremonies back to back so that'll take up half an hour! It probably won't hurt for folks to have a bit of a break after sitting through 2 matches already. Not sure how many will stay for Andy/Laura; quite a few seem to leave around 7/7.30.

[rondun]

I think they should close the roof, wait till it gets dark and sell all the empty seats.
Get the place absolutely jumping.

They have the singles final scheduled for 2.00 p.m. and the mixed final for 4.00 p.m. - clever that! If the singles goes to five sets the mixed will be an evening match anyway!

Mmm so they really think the singles final best of 5 sets is gonna be over in 2 hours? lol

I think they should close the roof, wait till it gets dark and sell all the empty seats.
Get the place absolutely jumping.

Hope they don't close the roof, it would give Federer an advantage.

[traveller7]

Yes we want an open roof tomorrow for definite no repeat of the wimby final

for the mixed

Yup it would be good if closed for the mixed.

Have you got a link for where they refer to Watson and Marray?
No sorry, it was on the telly. Typo for Marray - sorry, but they definately said Heather Watson.

Thanks all for your comments as I only got the see the last TB and CTB live. Ready for the final now. Nothing is going to drag me from the box. The only question is whether to have a bottle with the game or afterwards in celebration :)
