So may as well just go with the flow (resistance is futile)...
If there was an event called
running with the hare and hunting with the hounds , you'd be champion.

Bronze.
Amazing pace from the 15yo American! Fair play.
Disappointing for Beckie. Although she has a great attitude.

Yeah shame for Beckie, she seems quite likeable, more so than certain athletes.

The longest 3 setter (in 3rd set games terms) in history.
...A 'Wimbledon final replay'.
