That was so horrible to watch. Very classless behavior from both guys on that occasion, especially Agassi.. Fed and Rafa must have been hoping the ground would open up and swallow them. Very embarrassing.

Lol, I remember when Federer was like "getting a bit tense here" on the mic

After the match when Rafa was asked about it he said his English isn't very good and he couldn't understand what Andre and Pete were saying So good.

It was a reference to the infamous charity doubles match of Roger/Pete and Andre/Rafa when Pete and Andre had a wahhh at each other.

i didn't even know about this match, just watched it on youtube...yeah that was bad, agassi was an asshole and the normally stoic sampras takes the bait...

Nice to see Murray pair up with Heather Watson in the mixed doubles..

Rafa doubles gold baby! Second gold medal for the champ.

Sad I've gotta now choose between delpo and rafa though in the singles. Gonna support delpo because he's overcome adversity i.e wrist injury and being trapped in a Rio elevator. #courage

 

[Anil]

i want delpo to win now...

 

[Jono]

Why would you ever not want Delpo to win?

Glad he got his gold, he can sod off and leave the singles one for Murray now.

Also managed to annoy the kids by turning off the athletics to watch the last few games to see him get the medal which was great.

Anyone who doesn't wish for Delpo gold can GTFO. Murray and Nadal to piss off the greedy buggers.

Yeah unless you are Scottish or have money on Murray, no reason whatsoever to be cheering Murray in the final.

Immense match that, probably one of the best of the year

 

[vcs]

Hope he wins Gold this time. Remember that epic match he had against Federer at Wimbledon last time round.

 

[Jono]

Love you Delpo! Ripper of a match too!

That cooked Fed, he had nothing left for the final.

 

[harsh.ag]

Delpo and Puig. ****ing awesome!

Well excuse me for wanting another gold in the GB total but Delpo can get hammered today please.

Will be chuffed for him if he wins though, be like Fiji winning the 7's against us, hard not to be pleased for them if they beat us.

Awesome match so far. One set each with some great rallies.

Completely forgot the final was best of 5, thought Murray had a champ point.

He's been all over the place all tournament, following up a blinding set with a dud over and over again. Would be kind of amazing if he still managed to win.
