It was a privilege to see how Murray played yesterday. It was the result of lots of talent but masses of hard work and determination.   There can now be no doubt that he is a top 4 player.
  I see that his mixed double quarter final is first up on Centre  .

Great report Nigel. Andy played so well and hit some unbelievable shots. I think he will beat Fed tomorrow and that will be great and will be the platform for Andy to win his 1st GS.

Just read an article in the Bleacher Report singing Fed's praises.  It ends with -

Sometimes it takes a little push to get the adrenaline pumping, and that’s exactly what this match [against Delpo] did for Federer. In a few days, no one will ever be able to say that Roger Federer never won an Olympic singles gold medal. It’s just destined to happen.

I rest my case.

Bleacher Report are so anti-Murray that it's a disgrace to sports journalism.
It's right to praise all the great tennis players and especially the high achievers, amongst them Fed, Nadal and Djoko, but to go that far is ridiculous and not worthy to be called professional sports journalism.

I got pi**ed off with reading their biased columns and the slagging off of several tennis players, therefore stopped getting the reports.

Now how to figure out how to get in on video to keep

Bev, if you have a DVD recorder or video recorder connected to your TV just record the match on that as you play it back on Sky+. The DVD/video recorder will just 'think' it is recording from your TV.

 Hope that helps you.

Hi TJ

Since we have had sky+ installed, I can't figure out how to get sky to play through my vcr.  I may have the cables connected incorrectly   I can play dvds and videos but can't get sky showing on there and I'm loathed to fork out cash for someone to do that for me - it's about $90 for an 'engineer' to do it and my hubby is technically challenged (though he has mastered how to record programmes on sky+ and pause live tv).  Doesn't help that some cables are HD and some are the three leads (yellow, white and red) and scart leads.  It was easier with 4 channels

oh.. if just both of them could take the gold medal..

Hi All,

I must just say that I've read some stuff that Djokovic said after the match. I've no time to write it up, but he is so gracious in defeat and said some wonderful things about the way Andy played. Since Djokovic sorted himself out last year I think he's been incredibly classy in his treatment of opponents. Yes, he might throw the odd wobbler, but who cares? I really like him now.

I'm right behind Andy for the Gold, but I'd be delighted if Novak Djokovic got the bronze.

Agree completely. I don't get the hate for Nole from some people. Federer fans seem to hate him, but then that's no surprise as they hate anyone who dare challenge their god. It seems to be that people dislike his attitude because he dares to celebrate on court after winning Slams.

He's a phenomenal tennis player and has showed some exceptional sportsmanship this year, puts Federer (who keeps on winning these sportsmanship awards) to shame. Federer screams at the crowd to shut up, Djokovic gives his opponent the point when he sees the line judge has got it wrong.

Murray, Djokovic and Nadal are all the same in that respect, all very nice guys, great sports and very gracious in victory and in defeat. They do Federer to shame, who on too many occasions has made little jibes or arrogant remarks, often not giving his opponent credit at all. Not all the times, no, on occasion he does give out some credit, but it's way too rare and seems almost forced.
