PARIS (Reuters) – Czech pair Katerina Siniakova and Tomas Machac won the Olympic mixed doubles gold medal with victory in the final against China’s Wang Xinyu and Zhang Zhizhen on Friday.
Doubles specialist Siniakova and Machac, who are in a relationship off the court, combined superbly and held their nerve in a tense finale to win 6-2 5-7 10-8.
Canadians Felix Auger-Aliassime and Gabriela Dabrowski beat Dutch team Demi Schuurs and Wesley Koolhof to take the bronze.
