Murray looks older than me. My daughter, who got to meet Andy once, says that he had hip surgery recently. He does not look well. He is about 37, but his face looks more like 70!

For quite possibly the very last time, Djokovic/Nadal are set to play each other very soon. Maybe about 20-30 minutes from now.

Well this hasn't bee close so far.

Djokovic exposing Nadal's (lack of) ability to move forward. Just doesn't have the legs anymore.

 

[Tuggy]

Nadal able to make the 2nd set competitive, but Djokovic gets the break and serves it out.

Is this it for Nadal? We'll see.

 

[Jussi]

Thrilling game between Kostyuk and Vekic.

Kostyuk forces a tie break in the 3rd!

 

[Jussi]

5th match point does it for Vekic!

Hoping for 2 more Czech medals in doubles.. Mens and Womens. Machac has the potential to win 2 medals!

US Men's Doubles were up 1 set to 0 and up a break in the 2nd, all they had to do was hold serve twice and they would have the Gold against Australia. But they gakked up the lead and then Australia took the tiebreak 10-8. Great comeback by Australia, but a serious choke.

One of the Aussies has a young daughter, maybe 6 or 7. She was adorable crossing her fingers and consoling her mother during the tiebreak.
