Tennis - Lord Snooty - 07-08-2016
Good wins in the singles today for Kyle Edmund (6-4 6-2 against Australian Jordan Thompson) and Heather Watson (6-4 6-7 6-3 against China's Shuai Peng).
Heather will be back out again later playing the women's doubles with Jo Konta.
Konta starts her singles tomorrow as does Andy Murray, the defending champion. He plays Viktor Troicki.

Andy Murray won his first round match in the singles but him and his brother lost to Brazil 7-6 7-6 in the doubles after an exciting tie break game in the 2nd set.
Novak is out he lost to Del Porto in his first round match in the singles.

And the Williams sisters go out today as well, so 3 surprise results!!
RE: Tennis - St Charles Owl - 10-08-2016
Serena knocked out of the singles today! So who will win that one now?? Konya, who won today maybe?? Murray through with ease to the last 16, he must be overwhelming favorite for the gold now.
RE: Tennis - 0762 - 10-08-2016
Kerber will be one of the favourites. Konta will be lucky to pick up a bronze medal TBF. Dunno what happened to Serena last night v that 21 year old Ukrainian player? 5 double faults in her penultimate serving game??????? I've never seen that kinda form coupled with her 'face like a storm' behaviour!! What was that all about???? Bizarre! I don't think the Ukrainian girl could believe her luck.
RE: Tennis - Lord Snooty - 10-08-2016
Konta plays Kerber in the quarters. Can't really see her winning that.
RE: Tennis - Lord Snooty - 11-08-2016
Come on Andy!
one set all, but abreak down early in the decider.
0-3 down. But now it's 3-3.
Breaks again to go 4-3 up.
6 games in a row and the defending champion is through.

A late withdrawal in the mixed doubles and top of the reserve list, Andy Murray and Heather Watson have been called on.

As predicted - Kerber too strong for Konta - 6-1 6-2

Bad day for JoKo. Her and Jamie are out of the mixed.
But Andy and Heather have won.
Double gold for Andy?
