That doesn't make you a prick.
It was 10000000x better watching Vampiro and Gorila win golds in Athens because they actually cared and Chile went crazy. Whereas with the Nadal-Roger final Part DMXMVIIX this year, YAWN.

Switzerland will probably care... though not go crazy.

You don't think Djokovic will take out Nadal?

Switzerland is more focused on luge in 2 years.
Djokovic might win. I don't really care. I have little interest in this event.

These Olympics are going so horrible for us that I'm willing to except a Djokovic medal.

I'm actually enjoying the men's event. Most of the guys that showed up appear to care, so we have some decent quarterfinal and potential semifinal action ahead of us. Of course, this might mean a USO final of Andy versus Andy, but whatever.

Andrew Roddick SUCKS and won't even reach the QF.

Of course, this might mean a USO final of Andy versus Andy, but whatever. I wouldn't mind that as long as the REAL Andy ends up winning it.

Andrew Roddick SUCKS and won't even reach the QF. Okay. Dental Andy vs Juan DP. Sorry for polluting the women's thread with mens tennis talk.

Can demented choke a 5-0 third set lead?

Watching Venus vs Li at cbc.ca. The crowd is annoying.

Dem working on that choke. Silliams holding on, 2-5

ED wins 6-3.

Li has it back from 1-4 to 5-5

7-5 Li

I like Li Na. I'd never bothered to watch her for more than 30 seconds before But I don't particularly mind if Venus mounts a comeback. I imagine some of you would, though.

You're right. Add oil Na Li!

Lena D I want Bepa to get the medal though. Na Li went from 3-1 in the second set to 3-4...

/me would also mind.
I think Li is my fave of the Chinese players but I don't remember why.

Why are they starting matches so late? The heat? Rafa is going to start his match after midnight.

Post by lexpretend on Aug 14, 2008 10:53:24 GMT -5
I think it rained earlier. Na Li I hope she medals...but it's tough, as I basically like everyone left, and I don't want any of them to have to come 4th.

Post by The Chloe on Aug 14, 2008 11:07:17 GMT -5
I know it rained, but they start the matches very late in the afternoon anyways. I presume it's due to heat, but wasn't entirely sure.

This is interesting. All the female tennis players who have won gold medals (Wills Moody, Graf, Capriati, Venus, Justine) have won multiple majors. And now, we have slamless chicks left duking it out for gold. As much as I root for JJ, Li Na's my big hope for gold. Though, Vera or Lena D getting medals would be great too. Just not Safina.

As always, I miss out on the excitement. Oh well.
No Gold for Demented or Vera Z. plz.
Safina or Li would be ok.

I'm not watching any of this, but I couldn't resist reading about Pee n Ree losing to Demented and Na.

I just saw these results! I'm shocked and pleased. ED!! And I know it's pathetically petty of me, but I'm so happy that Justine has one terrific thing that Serena will never get: an Olympic gold metal in singles.

Post by Edna Krabappel on Aug 14, 2008 15:11:57 GMT -5
I suppose you could look at it that way too. But I'd trade it for what Serena has and Justine never will. And I don't mean big boobs.

I wouldn't assume that.
If the Williams' are still playing any tennis, one is winning gold at Wimbledon in '12.
