Helluva match between Federer and Del Potro today in the semis.
DelPo won the first set, and then Fed won the second in a tiebreak.
DelPo wasn't broken in the match until it was 9-9 in the 3rd set, and then he broke back at love to even it back up. Federer finally won it 19-17 after 4:25 on the court.
It was high quality tennis, I think Fed ended up with a 64/41 winners/unforced total, and Del Potro was 51/34.
The final against the Murray/Djokovic winner will be the best of 5 sets.

The only best-of-5 set match at the Olympics will be the men's final.
The best-of-3 set matches all have tiebreaks except for the final set. Most of the majors now use the 'no tiebreak in the final set' rule - without checking, I think the US Open is the only one that has a tiebreak in the final set.
edit - I looked it up - the majors are like that for singles play - but some use a tiebreak in the final set for doubles.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.

Matches consist of sets, which are decided by the first to six games and must be won by at least two clear games (eg: 6-3, 7-5). At six games all, in all but the final set, players contest a tie-break, which decides the winner of the set.
All matches are the best-of-three sets with the exception of the men?s Singles final, which is the best of five sets.
The tie-break will operate in every set except the fifth set in the men?s Singles final and the third set in the other matches (except Mixed Doubles) when an advantage set shall be played. In the Mixed Doubles the third set shall be played as a match tie-break (10 points).
Tie-break ? if the score in a set reaches 6-6 in anything other than the deciding set, there is a tie-break, won by the first player or Doubles team to reach seven points with a margin of at least two clear points. A 10-point match tie-break is also used to decide Mixed Doubles matches that reach one set all, with the first team to reach 10 points with a margin of at least two clear points winning the match.
