Olympics: Tennis

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

That's stunning. Considering Maria Sharapova has had a brilliant year it is something of a shock.

Laura Robson and Andy Murray doing incredibly well in their semi final against Germany's Lisicki and Haas.

Tie break in the second set, 6-6!

Germany win the second set.

Come on Andy and Laura!

They've done it!! Robson and Murray - awesome! Incredible experience for Laura Robson - how valuable will this be to her career? She served big just when she needed to! Brilliant!

Fantastic!  Made up for both of them!

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

Come on Andy!!

He has and hopefully this will give him confidence going into the US Open.

I think he will beat Roger tomorrow and I think he is a confidence player so should see him kick on for the last major.

Hope Murray/Robson win the doubles gold....still want Federer to win the singles gold though.

But I reckon Murray will win both.  If the roof stays open and its a bit windy, think Andy will best Federer.  If its closed then I reckon Federer will have too much for him. 

Looking forward to this and the men's 100m final tomorrow.

Good news for Fed, perhaps not so good for Andy:

 
David Ornstein, BBC Sport at the tennis at Wimbledon
"Umbrellas ARE at full mast as rain continues to fall at the All England Club. The Centre Roof is shut and the air acclimatisation process complete, so we're all set for a 1200 BST start.

Another gold to Serena Williams! This time playing with her sister in the women's double competition. Well done!

Come on now, Murray!

Murray needs to up his mental game if he is to beat Federer.

Excellent first set from Andy, won 6-2.

What's wrong with Roger?!

edit: Actually Andy's playing brilliantly!

Broken Fed again!

I've never seen or heard a tennis crowd like this!

Amazing stuff!

What a backhand shot by Murray!

WOW!

Extremely difficult and hard fought game now, Andy won it to make 3-0 in the 2nd set.

Come on Andy!

What a backhand shot by Murray!

WOW!

That was a beauty!

He did well to hold serve then, that was pressure.

Where is Murray pulling these backhands from?!

Superman runners doing the job for Murray.

Murray holding Fed to deuce. Verge of breaking again if he keeps this up.

I cannot believe that lob, so cheeky.

And how well is Andy playing right now?
