I wish we could see some of the speeds Del Potro is hitting these forehand winners. They have to be close to if not topping 100 mph.

Del Potro forehand is what Wawrinka's backhand is to Novak, too much to stop. Not sure why he's still going to it.

Always find it funny that a sport like gymnastics which require a lot of concentration seems to have the most distractions. Between the announcer, cheering and the music, while they go through their routine must be crazy hard.

Del Potro one game away from sending Novak packing. As the Senator said earlier, just a brutal opening round match for Joker.

PopNest saved match point twice and win it in 3 sets. Top two mens seeds out in doubles so after surviving today the path to a medal looking decent.

This is the beauty of the Olympics and cheering for Canada. For four years, I will have zero clue what's going on in any of these sports but right now I want to punch a wall after the Canadian women didn't make it. So stressful but so amazing!

I think Del Potro and Novak are adding a whole bunch of new tennis fans tonight.

This is so awesome. South America doesnt often get to host a match like this. There is no grand slam or masters 1000 there

Novak Djokovic is my favorite tennis player. Hoping he gets back on this game.
