The 2024 Paris Olympics saw Team USA take home its first tennis medal with Austin Krajicek and Ram Rajeev earning a silver in men’s doubles. The duo fell to Australia’s Matthew Ebden and John Peers in a hard-fought match, losing in a final tiebreaker after being up a set and a break. The last time the U.S. won gold in men’s doubles was in 2012.
In another match, Americans Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritz won the bronze in men’s doubles, defeating Czech opponents to secure another medal for the U.S. There are still more tennis matches to be played at the Olympics, with women’s and men’s singles matches scheduled. The women’s gold medal match will feature players from China and Croatia, while the men’s bronze medal match will see players from Italy and Canada face off. The men’s gold medal singles match will take place between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic on Sunday.
The Americans put up a strong performance in tennis at the Paris Olympics, showcasing their skills and determination on the court. With medals in men’s doubles and the potential for more success in singles matches, Team USA is making a mark in the tennis competition at this year’s games.
