Olympic & Paralympic Games London 2012

[Adam]

After a long and punishing game, Andy Murray breaks first in the final - now up 4-2 in Set 1. The crowd is absolutely fantastic.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Wow, these American tennis announcers.

"Why are all the announcements being made in French? Do you know anything about this?"

"This is a country where newspapers are still thriving."

[Lineker]

The Olympic park is undescribable. So so good. Seb has done us proud!

[IAceI]

Well done to Ben. Great way for him to bow out.

Now come on Andy. And I'll hopefully catch Louis Smith on the Pommel Horse shortly too.

[Berober]

Great first set for Murray there...

[Adam]

Double break for Murray! He takes the first set 6-2, I can't remember him playing a better set against Federer before, superb start.

[IAceI]

Superb Andy. Now let's keep the ball going.

BBC journalism at its best.

Bit off topic a week and a bit in, but I really like all the Team GB kit. That original weird footie top is dirt cheap now, but I'm definitely gonna see if the proper one goes down next month and have one. Like the tennis top too, and wouldn't be aversed to seeing if Ennis' pants appear on eBay...

[Lineker]

Sod off, I'm off duty!

[Berober]

Fantastic game there. C'mon Murray!

[Katsuya]

Pertinent question: if Andy wins this match, do the "never done it in a major" questions fade away a bit? It's not an Open-level tournament throughout, but he still beat a competitive Djokovic and Federer if he does it...

[Adam]

Andy Murray wins his sixth game in a row, a third successive break to go 2-0 in the second! That was something else, he got two lucky breaks there but Roger is severely rattled at this stage.

It didn't do much for Massu or a past-his-prime Kafelnikov. The quality of the Olympic tournament is much better than it used to be, but I think for now this would be a sentimental asterisk more than anything.

He's still never done it in a major though, so yeah, still stays. Massive accomplishment in its own right though of course.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Come on Tim!

[Adam]

It'd be the biggest achievement of his career, perhaps. But no, as it isn't a Slam it won't make any of those questions fade away I don't think. Let's not get ahead of ourselves anyway, there's still quite a long way to go here yet...

[Summers]

That was fantastic! Brilliant play by Murray. Fucking wow.

[Rafael]

I've never seen Andy Murray play that well.

[Matt]

Absolutely crucial point won there by Murray.

[Adam]

What a hold for Murray! That took about a quarter of an hour but very well played, he saved about 7 break points there.
