"There is a truth to sport, a purity, a drama, an intensity. A spirit that makes it irresistable to take part in, and irresistable to watch. In every Olympic sport there is all that matters in life.

And one day we will tell our children, and our grandchildren, than when our time came we did it right."
- Seb Coe, opening the 2012 games

Oh, Brother

Big British disappointment on court 2. Big Murray Little Murray were getting it all right against the Austrian duo of Melzer and Peya as mum Judy looked on, but when she vanished to look after her young Fed Cup charges Laura Robson and Heather Watson, the boys let it slip away. Their lefty-righty combination worked against them as the third set played out, with both British men serving into the sun.





Jumped over to see the young duo of Robson and Watson restore some home pride by cruising the first set against their more experienced German opponents 6-1 in just 21 minutes.

Took a brief trip to the top of the hill, where views past the Olympics-themed big screen to the central London skyline are now highlighted by the Shard. Spotted First Lady Michelle Obama on the balcony of Centre Court, being interviewed for television after watching Serena Williams' match there, and then stopping to chat to the crowd below. She asked who we were here to see, and dropped some American goodies to the eager fans. White Sox fan Barack might want to know why his wife was handing out a Cubs cap!
