Del Potro starting to put those forehands into the net now. Fancy Murray to break him in this game.

This next omnium race is brilliant, the elimination race. Laura Trott is an expert at it, let's hope Cav has been taking some tips.

Lottery funding was the initial catalyst but since then so much has subsequently changed. The culture, expectations, technology, analysis etc.

Bit daft there trying to get through on inside getting eliminated that way when well placed.

My favourite in the whole thing, it's great fun. Cav got himself trapped inside a bit too often but a decent enough result to keep him in touch.

The Elimination Race is the best event in the entire Olympics.

Third set... Murray! Please finish it in four, I'd like to be asleep before 2am for once.

I thought Murray winning the first set was absolutely crucial. I couldn't see Del Potro being able to sustain his peak levels for 4 hours plus, especially after his injury problems and having a tough match against Nadal yesterday. So far, so good.

Christ, playing Murray must be an absolute nightmare. Del Potro has been hitting some of the best forehands I've ever seen and he's 2-1 down - not to mention pretty shagged out, by the look of it.
