Could have as many as 5 double medalists if both of Raymond's teams wins.

[petrarkaponye]

It's pissing down. Could be closed roof if it doesn't clear soon.

[usaneisfiecup]

Yup. Roof closed and women's doubles final about to start

[Nypbscao]

Roof closed. Advantage Federer.

And scratch that. It looks like they're opening it now for the Men's final.

For all the talk about the lack of star American players (the Williams sisters notwithstanding), it's pretty incredible that if the team of Raymond/Bryan win the Mixed title, that the American's will have swept every gold in tennis except for Men's Singles.

.....Except that one must also factor in that all American winners are AARP members.....

That would be pretty incredible since they're not even in the gold medal match

But honestly I was thinking the same thing.

[JulieSmithdccd]

Also...boo to my tv listings and boo to the announcers saying Men's final was on TSN...good thing I'm working and able to see that it's really on a different channel.

[Peabelilt]

Oh shoot! Haha. I read the score wrong, and thought that Raymond and Bryan had beaten Azarenka and Mirnyi. Wishful thinking I guess. I quite like Raymond. (Huber not so much...)

[petrarkaponye]

First set Murray

[RalfDweflywex]

I came SOOOO close to saying "what the heck" and predicting a Murray win, but chickened out and decided to play it "safe".

[JulieSmithdccd]

Guess the bronze medal men's is just two sets. Del Potro wins the bronze!

[Lhtfajba]

Way to go Delpo!

[petrarkaponye]

I picked Murray, but not this score line.

[RalfDweflywex]

Hope this means JMDP is back into the top tier. And maybe Murray can finally break through elsewhere.

[jagxj12]

Roger is really hopeless today...

Andy is too great a player not to win something important one day and I certainly like him better than the other two. Del Potro belongs in the top 5 as well.

[RalfDweflywex]

Wow! What a time to finally have a British player on top. So pleased for Murray and GB.

[zzbust]

Wow. Did not expect that result.

Nevertheless,

[tigoCeree]

Great moment for Great Britain and Olympic tennis. Well done Andy!
