3 bronze medals today for Canada so far, 4 total now. Day 4 at #London2012. Took until Day 8 in Beijing to win our 1st medal.

"own the podium" working?

11-11, Tsonga serving. One of Milos Raonic's serves kills an unfortunately placed sheep.

Better coaching and better facilities gives our athletes better chances at success. The bottom line is you need to spend some dough for success.

Man, the NBC online streaming thing still has some bugs. Every time I try to "log in" with my PayTV account it doesn't let me click on my provider. Could just be my poor connection.

Tsonga and Raonic are guaranteed to at least tie the record for most games in one set of Olympic tennis. #CantTurnAway #GoCanada

since no americans are involved ... nbc will probably show this match next week

Regardless of the outcome, Milos has put in a heck of a performance...

This Raonic-Tsonga match makes up for the Davis Cup tie that never happened last February.

Another tweet from Duthie:

Raonic/Tsonga 15-15 in the 3rd. Leave work. Speed home. Abandon your children. Watch this match. TSN.

17-17, Tsonga serving. What a glorious moment it will be when Raonic or Tsonga's son wins this match one day.

If Americans paid any attention to non-Americans, they would find this Raonic/Tsonga match riveting!

19-18 Raonic serving - This is nuts!

19-19, Tsonga serving. London Bridge has now actually fallen down.

20-20, Tsonga serving. A man in the first row wears a party hat. His birthday must have come and gone, at some point.

Raonic-Tsonga now 20-20. 3rd quarter/CFL score territory.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Bruce is really nailing it today.

@bruce_arthur
20-19, Raonic serving. I miss my children. But I suppose they're not really children anymore, are they.


hell, even the guy announcing the score is getting tired.
after Tsonga goes up 30 in a break opportunity, MIlos comes back to tie.
