Tomorrow is a HUGE day for Fed



If he can win the gold in the doubles, 2008 will be worth it for him.
An olympic gold is a tremendous achievement, be it in singles or
doubles, and though it will eat him inside that Nadal is the gold
medalist in the singles and he came up empty handed (especially after
touting it as high priority while Nadal downplayed its importance), a
gold medal would be just the tonic he needs for his sagging spirits.
The big encouraging sign I see is that Fed got his act together for
the doubles to beat some accomplished teams like Bhupathi/Paes and the
Bryans, AFTER his defeat in the singles competition. It surely would
have been easy to be disheartened and play a stinker under those
circumstances.
