no, not another Andy Murray argument thread but about Laura Robson.

Currently playing Maria Sharapova and doing pretty well - taken her to at least a tie break in the 1st set....

Fanny Fanackapan

Ooh, thanks for the heads up, suzi .

Will take a look when there's a break in the Derby v Kent match I'm watching.

Addickforlife

Im really struggling with what to watch. There's the cricket, the hockey, the tennis and the beach volleyball all going on!

Anyone know the position with the semis?

Is it like the boxing where both losing semi finalists get bronze medals?

SoundAsa£

Pretty sure I heard that if he won his next match (i.e. the one he won today) that he'd get a medal.

LawrieAbrahams

No, they just said on commentary that there is a play-off for bronze.

OK Lawrie....I bow to your better info.

Fanny Fanackapan

Bronze at best then probably.

great game this between Del Potro and Federer - 6-6 in 3rd set!

thecrazyaddick

Del Potro serving for the match... 9-8

thecrazyaddick

Got that wrong... must pay more attention. Federer was serving to stay in the match at 9-8 down....

now 9-9..... maybe.

cafcfan1990

suzisausage

MrOneLung

Mike

suzisausage

no idea - I think this game was moved anyway. would have seen Sharapova otherwise which would have been great too.

Fanny Fanackapan

Murray won first set !

3-3 in 2nd.

Murray legend

Macronate

bloody hell, Murray has beaten Djokovic.

what an atmosphere there will be at the final.

dartonion

it wont count cos nadals injured blah blah blah

Macronate

Nadal pulled out because he shit himself from the British crowds.

North Lower Neil

See, I'm more enclined to support him as he's playing for Team GB not just himself this time... still want Fed to win though.

se9addick

Great performance from Murray and he looked overwhelmed with joy at getting into the final and picking up at least a silver representing GB
