      Score 24-23 to Tsonga who has three match points on Raonic's serve.

      What a final point, Tsonga slipped on the baseline but managed to recover and win the point and the match!  Tsonga wins 25-23!  Longest match ever in Olympic tennis.

      I saw that game, and what an amazing finish  :o Brilliant.

      Damn, Andy Murray has lost the first set to Marcos Baghdatis 6-4.

      Come on Andy!

      Fed and Novak won their matches earlier today as did Tsonga, slightly more easily than yesterday's match beating Lopez 7-6 6-4!

      Another amazing match in the tennis, this time in the men's doubles.  The Brazilian pair, Marcelo Melo and Bruno Soares have just beaten the Czech pair, Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek 1-6 6-4 24-22!

      Federer in a spot of bother on centre court against Del Potro.  He's one set down and has just had to work very hard to hold service to lead the second set, 5-4.  He was 40 love up and almost lost it!

      Second set to Federer who serves an ace to win the tie breaker 7-5.  He's not looking happy in the windy conditions though.

      Jumping between it and the judo at the moment.  There have been some epic third sets so far!

      This game is UNBELIEVABLE. And despite him being Argentinian, I want Del Potro to win... come on Delpo!

      Match point to Federer!

      OMG he volleys in to the net!  Deuce.

      Match point number 2.  He's done it, Federer through to the final.  Unlucky Del Potro.  What a match.

      4 hours and 26 minutes.  Final set 19-17!  Wow!

      What a game!  Fair play to Del Potro, unbelievable how his groundstrokes kept finding the lines every time.  Just seemed to tire a bit at the end.

      Tricky match overcome for Federer, especially in those windy conditions against a powerful opponent.  Would love to see him win that elusive singles gold medal now.

      Murray has been quite easily the best player so far. If he keeps that level of performance up, gold is his.

      Come on Andy!!

      Serena Williams has just battered Maria Sharapova 6-0 6-1 to win gold.  That's a proper tonking!
