Nadal beat Djokovic 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 and is at least guaranteed a silver medal. He will be assured the No.1 ranking in the world after the Olympics, to go along with his French Open Title and Wimbledon Title. It’s been a good year for Nadal to say the least. Nadal is 3-3 SU against Gonzalez,  he's won the last two encounters, both in 2007 at Masters Series events. Nadal is also trying to give Spain its first gold medal in Olympic tennis history.

Gonzalez beat Blake 4-6, 7-5, 11-9 as he looks to become the first men’s tennis player to win back to back Olympic medals since the 1912 and 1920 Olympics. Blake was mighty pissed about a bad call that came in the third set when the score was 9-8 Blake. Blake was ahead 40-0 in the 12th game of the final set, but gave away three straight match points and Gonzalez forced the extra play before breaking serve in the 19th game of the third set. The American was then ahead 9-8 and on the first point of the ensuing game and hit a return with the ball clipping Gonzalez's racquet before going by the Chilean. Instead, chair umpire Carlos Bernardes ruled Blake's backhand return went long, and Gonzalez went on to win the final three games. "Playing in the Olympics, in what's supposed to be gentleman's sport, that's a time to call it on yourself," said Blake. "Fernando looked me square in the eye and didn't call it." Blake continued to freak out after the match.
