Yes! Rafa just won gold!
Good match with Gonzalez though, who didn't want to lose easily and hit some massive shots. But, Fernando, you should never have worn those black underpants under white shorts. What were you thinking? The tennis gods ruled against you.
At one point, the commentators reported that Rafa shouted come on to himself in English, rather than vamos. "It's the first time he's ever done that," one mused. "It's usually 'vamos'."
"Roger Federer said exactly the same thing last night," the other said, wonderingly, like there might be some mystical link.
I heart commentators.

Q: You think that it's justifiable to trash Federer's game just because he's going through a streak of bad luck?
A: I think that's enough nonsense. Press and people forget too easily. Federer possibly is the best tennis player in History. For me he's the best. I don't know if results say the same but for me in the last years no one had ever marked as much difference as him [[I'm not very sure how to translate that]]: the sensation when he appears in the tennis court... looks like he can't lose. For me that's the most important thing.
