    Really Neil?

    Yes, I'm a Federer fan so would liken it to a Charlton v England match, though obviously I know that wouldn't happen.

    Would like him and Robson to win the doubles though, and would rather Murray gets the silver ahead of Djokovic etc.
    Hey look, each to their own, but it is not like Charlton v England. It's like Real Madrid against England, where you chose to support RM because they won the European cup when you were a kid, and have stuck with it... :-)

    Just win the first set in the mixed doubles semis - closing in on another guaranteed medal. Robson playing very well.

    ..as did Murray. Two guaranteed medals for the British guy.

    He did Bournemouth agreed, just more expected from a world number 4 whereas Robson as an 18 year old at world number 100ish had a brilliant first set.

    Hoping for a silver gold combo!

    What if it was Murray/Robson V Federer/Some Swiss Bird?

    Minimum of 2 silvers for Murray!

    He won't beat Federer but maybe, just maybe, he can pick up a gold with Laura Robson.

    Think I'd want GB to win - really want Federer to complete the Golden slam so it's all about the singles.

    Can't really imagine wanting a foreign competitor to beat a Brit in the Olympics. Respect them sure, and Fed is deserving of that respect, but wanting to see another nations flag raised and anthem played ? No thanks.

    Whoever wins, there won't be any Anthem singing by the Olympc Champ.

    Shouldn't be in the Olympics , much the same as football.

    Any sport where the olympics isn't the be all and end all shouldn't be in it.

    Bloody golf's in next time around , ridiculous

    Federer has not won a game in over 45 minutes. Pretty incredible.

    Murray is playing out of his skin at the moment. Must be the extra incentive of representing his country ;-)

    Well done to Del Pottro for winning Argentinas first medal at these games. I guess training on Argentine soil to win on English soil didnt work out too well !

    Shame for him it's not two sets, could be done and dusted with plenty left in the tank for the doubles otherwise!
