AMAZING volley with both sides at the net, capped by an absolutely brilliant diving shot from Del Potro to get the point. May have hurt himself on the dive, though.

This is such an awesome match.
Olympics are getting lucky with the amount of thrilling 3 setters they've had this week.

Arrgh that volleyduel. Even how amazing it was, it was very annoying seeing the ball just go in for Del Potro in the end.
