    Murray is making Del Potro win by playing long points.
    That Nadal match has to still be in his legs surely.

    I think the zig is starting to leave the massive Del Potro forehand

    Murray takes set 3.

    Looks like the Nadal bout is starting to take effect on Del Potro.

    I really struggle to cheer for Murray, something about the way he carries himself that annoys me.

    Vamos Del Potro....! <cheers>
    Good start in the 4th set, some horrible misses by Andy

    Pff, The Iceman just felt a bit bad for him, can't win every competition. They're neighbors as well, would be some awkward bbqs coming up if he went full out to win.

    Del Potro breaks back! :)

    Another certain medal as Joshua Buatsi makes the light heavyweight boxing semi's.
    He has so far had 2 stoppages and tonight he his made his opponent (a 2 time bronze medalist) take 2 standing counts. At one point he stood there and took 2 clean shots on his chin and then just waded back in as if nothing had happened.

    I was worried about a lucky shot catching him until he took those shots like they were nothing.

    As I mentioned earlier I did wonder if it was still going to be in his legs.

    <laugh> A poor excuse.

    It's okay, they'll both be celebrating in just over a month when they smash the yanks in the Ryder Cup.

    And Murray breaks back. :)

    I said the same earlier today and after Del Potro won - the longer the game goes, the better it should on paper be for Murray.

    Murray's serve has been nothing short of appalling.
