James Blake had some harsh words for the man who beat him today. (www.tennisforums.com)

Fresh off his epic upset over tennis golden boy and Mach 3 razor enthusiast Roger Federer, American James Blake lost his semifinal match against Chilean Fernando Gonzalez in three sets. And after the match he had a little something to say about what he perceived to be a lack of fair play and sportsmanship from his South American foe.

"I've spoken all week about how much I've enjoyed the Olympic experience, how much I love the spirit of it," Blake said. "That's a disappointing way to exit the tournament, when you not only lose the match, but you lose a little faith in your fellow competitor."
Blake is the only American remaining in the tennis arena and will play for the bronze medal on Saturday.
