NY20?? Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Told you so - the Chinese go to the smaller courts to watch their girls defeat a Williams sister, leaving their seats at Center Court empty. Anyways, as NBC put it - Federer's nightmare continues... I'm really disappointed for the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fourth Gonzalez and Massu won the gold in doubles last Olympics, while both won medals in singles (bronze and gold). We are so happy... I was at a disco celebrating Madonna's birthday (lol) and then the travesti that was performing said "Gonzalez won the second set in tiebreak" and everybody started singing and then we went home... it was like 5 am and everybody in downtown were returning home to see the third match. I arrived and they were 3/3 and I was so nervous so I prefered to don't see the match... but I woke up when everybody in the building shouted when Gonzalez won... amazing! Gonzalez loves to play incredible long matches, hahaha... Nadal defeated Djokovic minutes ago... I prefered Novak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY20?? Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I'm not annoyed at Gonzalez for refusing to admit that the ball touched his racket on that point. Blake didn't seem happy with him AT ALL after the match in a press conference. And I'm really glad to see Federer in an Olympic final, even if its Doubles.

KRATK Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Congratulations to Nadal... he deserved to win. I prefer not to see the match... usually when I see a match like this, Gonzalez lose... I think I bring him bad luck. Anyway, he lost but it was a great accomplishment for Chilean sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
