Olympic tennis day 8 - officially ded of tennis

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.

Oh, THANK YOU. That's a far bigger selection than I'd hunted down on my own...whoosh, there goes my productivity for the rest of the evening! That man's smile really needs to be registered as a deadly weapon.

_{(Did you get my mail the other day, btw? I've been having some weird issues with both email and LJ messaging lately so I feel like I have to doublecheck everything for delivery. So sorry I took so long to get back to you on that!)}
