Djokovic obviously wasn't going to be the same guy after last year, but he seems to reverting to some of the old things that held him back. Looks unfocused and unable to control his emotions.
UK fans will be thrilled with a Wimbledon rematch, their homegrown star versus their favorite player ever it seems. Can't wait for Sunday.

^ Maybe their favourite ever non-Brit. The title of favourite has to go to Tim Henman.

They sure do love them some Federer though. They were chanting for him in the match against del Potro.

Armstrong will have to find another gear in his next 3 throws if he wants a medal.

Looks like the old tried and true technique is working early vs the spin technique. But there are still 3 throws to go.

Murray is nowhere near the biggest UK star at the games (although if he beats the Fed machine finally at Wimbledon it will be pretty epic).
Don't get me wrong, we're pretty chuffed he's made the final, but the biggest Olympic stars here are the people who don't get the full-on media coverage the rest of the time.
The real Olympic darlings during the Olympics are in sports such as cycling and rowing - Wiggins, Pendleton, Hoy, Grainger...
By the way, in terms of TV coverage, the BBC has it pretty much nailed over here. 24 HD channels from 8am until midnight showing every minute of every Olympic competition, it's pretty awesome.
PS being beaten by you guys in the women's football ("soccer") is pretty crappy for us, after we beat Brazil the other night. Fair play [doffs cap]

The women did what they had to in the 1st half and then shut it down. Chance at Medals vs USA.

If you believe the Brazillian team there was a massive conspiracy by the UK to screw Brazil. Either way I think the ladies probably have a 1 in 5 chance of beating the US, but we shall see.

It doesn't look good, he doesn't seem to have the power/technique today.

Armstrong made the same mistake with every throw.
Canada continues to disappoint.
