That's why Nicolas Massu won Olympix gold you mug.
|
|
By:
Massu is a two-time Olympic medalist, one of the greats. Only male player to have won both the singles and doubles in the same modern Olympic games (to date).

absolutely no fecking way
I'm a murray fan and I would not have cared if he lost today but was decimated by his loss in the slam final |
|
By:
yeah and gaudio won a slam...so what

"olympic football is bigger than the world cup"

By:
Nadal didn't even bother to show up.

Slam finals you just turn up each year for and have a pop at it, so over the space of 4 years you have 16 pops at a singles Grand Slam title but only at the Olympic title.

Olympic football is for under 23's, nothing like the football world cup

If you asked any tennis player if they would rather win a Grand Slam event or the Olympix gold you are only getting one answer. In the past players didn't even care a little bit about the Olympix and you had journeymen like Massu and Rosset winning mens gold.

Didnt know a tennis players career was a maximum of four years

@fayaz
over 8 years you have 32 pops at a Grand Slam but only 2 at Olympic Gold over 12 years etc etc |
|
By:
There's lots of muppets around no wonder it's so easy to make money. Keep it up I say.
|
|
By:
these slam winners can go for quantity not quality if they want to but Gold for your country is much bigger
|
|
By:
Certainly above Doha, just below Kitzbuhel for me
|
|
By:
hope you won on Murray YOHOMMA. Pretty straightforward gold against these season Slam players that go for the quantity.
|
|
By:
Murray would swap this for a grand slam in a heart beat
|
|
By:
With few ranking pts at stake and £0 prize money you can see why half the players aren't too bothered.
|
|
By:
Yer but I still congratulate Murray for winning this. Well done to him.
|
|
By:
Even Gonzo was finalist last time
 |
|
By:
Well done Muzza for winning the gold, only i don't think it is at the top of all players lists as a tournamnet they really feel they want to win.
|
|
By:
Congrats to Murray! I am not a big supporter of British sports generally but I really wanted Andy to win this. He is too good a player not to win some big tournament. I even lost some money here but happy for Andy.
|
|
By:
you can see what it means to the players just by the reaction of the Bronze medal winner. 3rd in a Grand Slam you get called a mug for not making the final in the Olympics you go down in history as an Olympian medalist.
|
|
By:
DelPo still is a mug for not making the final...mug
|
|
By:
I wouldn't call the 3rd best player in the world a mug. He would have liked to have got to the final but is over the moon with his Bronze.
|
|
By:
To add: Sure it is not GS this Olympics but I think most of the players regard this as quite big. I understand players who have no chance to win this, it is easy for them to concentrate on tournaments with prize money. Equally it was understandable that Fish who already had a medal was not interested to take part.
|
|
By:
Murray had to beat Djokovic and Federer to win gold, not like he beat a load of mugs FFS
|
|
By:
It means a lot to the winner, the losers aren't that bothered
|
|
By:
someone will be telling me that Murray isn't the best player in the world now even though he is the Olympic champion. They will come up with something about him not having as many points as someone else. They might also tell me Azarenka is the best female player because of all her points.
|
|
By:
there isn't a World Champion at tennis because there isn't such a tournament, so only an Olympic Champion every 4 years a bit like the football world cup.
|
|
By:
Really? So what are the would tour finals all about?
 |
|
By:
thx Murray for donating us 4 more years in the career of Roger Federer
 |
|
By:
As always bb666, very well said Sir!

No its not, its not even worth half the points __________________ and this is why Tennis (and football) should NOT be part of the Olympics |
|
By:
I must be missing the point Coachbuster. Are you saying tennis shouldn't be part of the Olympics because it doesn't have any tour points associated to it?
