Here we go AGAIN!

Watching the Olympics tennis on television has been amazing. Today has certainly hit dangerous levels of awesomeness. Yes I can now say awesomeness because I am back in America. With matches that seem to be going and going and going and going. We have finally got our gold medal match-up and low and behold it, its a repeat of the Wimbledon final.

Fantastic Federer and Marvellous Murray

Andy Murray ousted Novak Djokovic 7-5, 7-5 just after Federer created yet more history and beat Argentina's Juan Martin Del Potro 3-6, 7-6 (5), 19-17 in the longest Olympics match in its history. Federer's amazing win is a mere testimony to truly how confident he feels these days. The World No. #1 looked a little edgy after breaking serve at 12-12 only to be broken to love immediately back. The Swiss Maestro managed to edge Del Po despite being up 0-40 a few games before. Federer hit an incredible 64 winners which included 24 aces. Murray gave a very impressive performance to beat Djokovic. The former World No. #1 did not play a bad match but Murray just managed to step it up each set when up 6-5. The 'Serbanator' seemed to be in the match the whole time but was outclassed in my opinion.

Too soon?

A repeat of the Wimbledon final just one month after it all ended in tears for Murray might be too soon. However, here are a few reasons to be optimistic.

1. This is only a three set match

Murray has a good record against Fed just over three sets. Despite the big occasions always going Roger's way, this affair being only three sets has to be a positive.

2. Federer has to be exhausted

Federer has just played the longest match in Olympic history. He has to be tired physically and mentally. If Murray can make him dig deep again, the Swiss might not have anything left.

3. Murray's performance at Wimbie started off GREAT!

Lets not forget that Murray won the first set and really should have won the second set back in July. His tactics of attacking to the Fed forehand was working effectively; especially when finishing the points. I think Murray has a better shot than he did a month ago despite the win. Murray could see De Ja Vu and that will affect his performance but he is tough and his confidence has never been higher. This will be a great Gold Medal match-up.
