Tennis at the Summer Olympic Games 2020

[Monzanator 4,498]

Belinda Bencic wins the singles gold!

 

It's time for Slovakians to visit her golden party

 

Not as shocking as Puig winning in Rio but still unexpected before the tournament.

Great match for final and bronze medal, all girls made sth great, I enjoy it so much.  All girls should have medal like in judo, Rybakina played many great action. Bravo for her, she is a wise tennis player. I hope she will achieve more in future.

Belinda Bencic sounded *so* happy in her interview with NBC. Like, happier than I've heard a lot of GS winners.

Fact is, she's unlikely to ever win a Grand Slam singles title so this should remain her high-water mark going forward

Always good to see some players really do care about the Olympics  

 

Excellent winner! And cool women's doubles bronze!

 

On the other hand, I'm so sad for Nina Stojanovic, her once in a lifetime chance for something big being thrown away like this

When you get a notification on your phone about a new medal for Brazil...  But the medal was won yesterday

 

[Monzanator 4,498]

No surprise Krejcikova/Siniakova won the women's doubles. They were clear favorites. Easy prediction for me there. Obviously the Brazilians winning bronze were a huge surprise.

 

Btw, did ZDF really say Zverev was the first German Olympic champion in tennis? Like this Graf woman was kinda good back in the day from what I remember?
