In a battle with three tiebreaks, they beat Americans Krajicek and Ram
Australian Tennis Players Matthew Ebden And John Pierce became the winners of the tennis tournament Olympic Games 2024 V doubles.
In an incredibly intense final confrontation, the Australian duo managed to get the better of their rivals from the USA, Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram.
The denouement in both sets occurred in the tie-break. Krajicek and Ram realized the set point on the third attempt (8:6), after which they could have won the final ahead of schedule, but they could not hold on to the two-game advantage in the second set. The second shootout brought a convincing revenge to Ebden and Pierce – 7:1.
In the super tiebreak, the Australian tandem quickly gained an advantage and managed to hold on to it. At 9:5, Ebden and Pierce got a match point, and not right away, but they converted it — 10:8.
The third place match in the same category will soon be held in Paris. The Olympic bronze will be played for by Taylor Fritz/Tommy Paul (USA) and Tomas Machac/Adam Pavlasek (Czech Republic).
Let us recall that earlier, Tomáš Macháč and Katerina Siniakova from the Czech Republic became the champions of the 2024 Olympic Games in mixed doubles. Tomáš has a chance to win a second Olympic medal in two days.
The women’s singles final will take place later today. Zheng Qinwen (China) and Donna Vekic (Croatia) are vying for Olympic gold. Tomorrow, August 4, the decisive matches in women’s duets and the men’s singles (Novak Djokovic vs. Carlos Alcaraz) will take place.
