That was a weak 2nd serve though. 7-6 BLR.
Oh god what a return. 8-6.

Ah well. Really happy for Mirnyi, his first Olympic medal!

10-8. Congrats. Murray so pissed. I know the feeling - there's nothing worse than blowing a mixed doubles match as the male player.

Honestly, from what I saw in the TB poor Muzza was stuck with the weakest of the four players. He's lucky to have gotten them this far. And he's got singles gold! I'm sure mixed silver will be fine.

And I'm happy for both Vika & Max! I keep liking Vika, for some reason it doesn't go away.

I didn't watch the match but I'm glad BLR won. Laura Robson with an olympic gold medal would have been weird, at least for now.

Yes, Laura was atrocious in the Match TB. Two DFs to start

I detest Vika but like Max - he was really friendly and nice to me the one time I met him.

Chuffed for Vika, best player on the court. Glad she gets to take home a gold. We're an AZARENKA fan now?!

Not really. Was mostly rooting against Robson. But I'm glad she took home a gold after the singles shellacking.

Laura Robson with an olympic gold medal would have been weird, at least for now. Yeah, that's the way I felt, in addition to being ecstatic for Max and neutral about Aza. Andy already succeeded in singles; no reason for him to drag Laura along with him to another gold. She still gets a silver medal, which is pretty astounding for any British tennis player.

Gosh, Lisicki's bipolar behaviour is really weird.

What happened?!

Post by GoDom on Aug 5, 2012 15:04:14 GMT -5
Giggling and smiling all match long, even during the one-sided MTB, then breaing down in tears after losing.

Sounds like typical Lisicki to me.

It was. But I still don't get if all that laughing is fake.

Probably, like that year Zvonareva tried to Joker-smile her way through close matches.

Actually, let me amend that. Lisicki does seem naturally ecstatic when she's winning. But I think during something like a match TB, yes, probably very fake.

In looking for a clip of the Belarusians, I came across this video. Azza playing with Alexander Lukashenko (starts at 1:37). He seems almost not horrible there.
