Roger Federer beats Del Potro in an epic semifinal at the Olympics!!

I have never been a Federer fan, so I would have been favoring Del Potro slightly over him if I had been watching the match. But it sounds like it was quite a battle in which both players deserved to win.

I really like both players, but more of Federer. It's sad to Del Potro because this Olympics games could mark his recovery and for what I know Argentina still don't have a gold medal and it would be very important to his country. But, I'm happy that Federer won and I'll be rooting to him against Murray.

Really,it's a good news for all federer fans,like me.We can now hope to see his dream comes alive.Let us pray for that golden moment.Though it's a close match for federer,but he outsmart his opponent very well.Well done roger.

That is very true that this match really doesn't deserved a loser. I would like to appreciate efforts of Potro over such a display with Federer. It will be a real boost for him for the upcoming tournaments. On the other hand Federer is sailing along the path for his Gold quest. I also would congratulate both of them for being a piece in making this Olympics a success which is waiting for more of such nail biting competitions.

I hope Roger manages to beat the last opponent, as for me he is the one who really deserves to win the Olmypic title. I think he is the most gifted tennis player in the last 30 years.

Wow, I wish I had seen the match myself, it sounds like it was a great final match. A few things I noticed, though: 1. It's weird that the match is only 3 sets, yet does not have a tiebreaker for the final set (possibly resulting in these kinds of matches if the opponents are close, I would think). 2. Roger Federer is making a serious resurgance, although you have to wonder if Nadal getting knocked out early at Wimbledon helped Federer's cause a lot (I think it did dramatically). 3. This final match between Federer and the winner of Murray/Djokovic (ongoing as I write this) will be quite exciting as far as Olympic tennis goes. While I know it isn't as big as a Grand slam, a gold medal would be pretty sweet to add to the Wimbledon title to complete Federer's dominance on grass recently.
