I was not expecting dominance like this from the Zheng, but she has done good work and have early service break after these things gone against Vekic, and she lost first set with the score of 6–2 now we are in second set where Vekic is doing tough job and not allowing opponent to have dominance even Zheng having again service break, but she fights back.

Now we are having 3–3 both are doing their best for having win but look like we are going for the third set which could be interesting because both are giving their best and trying to have their historic Gold Medal in these Olympics games where many big names already out of the competition due to their poor performance.




Qinwen Zheng really played well and got the Gold medal for China by defeating the Croatian tennis player Donna Vekić. She won by 6-2, 6-3. Yeah the second set was a close one initially but the final results will tell you that Zheng win the three consecutive games in the 2nd set to get the gold medal.  Smiley Of course, she is the better of the two.  Smiley and it was a memorable moment for her.
We still have Women's Doubles Gold Medal to be played tomorrow.

Now we have few minutes left in final between Zheng vs Vekic as odds are clearly favouring Zheng @1.4 but it's never been easy for her to won Gold Medal against Vekic which is doing impressive job in this event and looking for Gold Medal this is going to be interesting game between these players from China and Croatia both won one match each before this final.
At least in the first set Zheng appeared quite dominant by successfully taking the first set and the second set Vekic still looked difficult to win her game, but the situation might change even though Zheng still looks solid enough to get a gold medal, and defeating Swiatek is a big capital for this Chinese tennis player to achieve good achievements at this Olympics.
With several top players in the women's division choosing to skip the Olympics, it looks like Swiatek will easily win gold but it turns out not to be and the bronze goes to Swiatek.

I am disappointed as Nadal and Alcaraz lost their chances to won Gold Medal in double event, but few minutes back we have winner from the Australia Ebden and Peers won their match against Ram and Krajicek now we have another game with the USA is going to win Bronze Medal as well in this event.

I am having no doubt about this Alcaraz is going to have his first Olympics Gold Medal in tomorrow game because currently he is playing amazing and no one can stop him from winning this game on Clay with Djokovic having knee problems.

And the girls from Italy (Errani and Paolini) reach the final in "double"! Great result (it's the first time for female Italian players).
Great period for Paolini. Wimbledon, French Open and now this Final! A year with many big results that we haven't never seen here in Italy (both for female and male).
Without Sinner on the Olympics there was a kind of "fear" about the chance for a Medal for Italy but Musetti can still reach the final... Yes his opponent is one of the worst player to meet on the field (only 1 victory over 7 match!) but lets see Roll Eyes
Meanwhile we have the first finalist .... ALCARAZ!

Ah its great to see the Italian pair in the final, Errani because she is a "veteran"
of the womens game and for Paolini because she is having a great season so far.
Guaranteed a medal and I'm sure they will be delighted even if its Silver.
They are slight favourites at 1.72.

Swiatek was not herself, she had problems with her forehand strike. Zheng had a
great performance and she will make the final against Vekic very interesting.
Really hard to pick a Gold medal winner for tomorrow, I would probably pick Vekic ATM....

Djokovic - concerns for his Knee, he was a bit worried after the match. He plays
Musetti today, could be a chance for Musetti to win this @ 2.76! or at least an
over bet for Musetti to take a set perhaps.

Alcaraz won his game against Auger-Aliassime and have spot into final where now we are waiting for the winner from the second semifinal which is going to play between top seed Djokovic vs Musetti where top seed Djokovic is hot favourite for win but his knee injury concerns creating some feud about his win in this game Musetti doing good job in last few games as well.


Cant believe Musetti failed to put up a bigger challenge to Djokovic. Anyway now
we have a replay of the Wimbledon final, the way Alcaraz is playing I cant see him
being beaten with the performances he has been putting in, thats reflective in
the odds 2.92 v 138, just need to figure ot to go under or over 22.5....

I was expecting she is going to add Gold Medal into her tally of wins, but sadly we have to face these realities as well, but now few minutes back we have won for the Swiatek against Slovenian Schmiedlova for the Bronze Medal game, and we will have final tomorrow between Zheng and Vekic even odds are clearly favouring Zheng, but I have strong feeling Vekic can give surprise in this Gold Medal game.

Paolini suffers defeat in single event but now having good chance of winning Gold Medal in women doubles as she is going to have final against Russian girls where she and her partner looking strong enough for having Gold Medal.

@Joca97 now time is having change and Rafael Nadal is also having too many problems around him so just because of this now he is not able to perform as he needed most chances now after having Gold Medal with Alcaraz he will announce about his retirement.

Today we have few huge upsets as inform Zheng beats ranked 1 Swiatek and have spot into final where most chances with her current form she can win Gold Medal which could be historic for the China in tennis Olympics.

In men, we have Medvedev and Zverev both gone, so things are looking pretty clear for the Alcaraz, Djokovic for having top ranks and third spot is looking interesting between few players.

Im hoping that Djokovic didnt hurt his knee too much in yesterdays game against Tsitsipas. I was thinking it was all over for him with how he was moving but he was able to recover. I wonder what kind of effect will it have against Musetti today. He also always struggles with him but wins in the end.

After having few results now I have feeling mostly players were here just for show up because their performance was not as they needed to give and having good chance of winning medals for their countries.

No way - players are here in search of Olympic Gold. This is one of Tennis' top
accolades just like winning a grand slam. We had this point made already on this
page.



Quarter finals today in the womens side. Kerber has found great form to beat
Paolini yesterday but faces a tough opponent in Zheng. I believe Kerber
is finding results because this is her last season before retirement and
so is playing with a degree of freedom and a slightly different mindset.

Unfortunately, Angelique lost today against Zhang. The match was super exciting, but Kerber looked a bit tired, which is not surprising as German veteran had a tough match against Paolini as you mentioned. At some point, the match started to resemble U12 junior tennis with almost exclusively lob shots. Unfortunately, these attempts to conserve energy failed as Kerber lost the 3rd set on a tie break.

Another amazing match was Alcaraz/Rafa vs US doubles specialist duo Ram/Krajicek. Unfortunately, the Olympic dream has ended for Rafa: their team lost 2:6, 4:6. The opponents were showing typical doubles play with great serves and frequent net takeovers.
  

Thats a pity for Rafa, Olympic Gold is gone with the defeat to those specialist doubles
with vast experience both as doubles and doubles partners.



Zheng did well to beat in form Kerber but Zheng is herself in form coming into
this tournament.

She has taken the first set against Swiatak and its on serve in the second set.
She looked a bit troubled in the first set but like all No.1's first set loss doesnt
spell the end. Still heavy favourite @ 1.36

Rafael Nadal is just not even close to his good form not even close to a solid form. It wasnt realistic for him to win a medal at the olympics even with Alcaraz in the doubles. They arent doubles players and Nadal in singles isnt good now and we seen it against Djokovic

Swiatek is still in the mix and TBH I believe she will take Gold. She plays

Today we are having many interesting matches here in Olympics with many casualties are also happening many big names are already out of the event few minutes back have Coco Gauff and Paolini both lost to their opponents even both were hot favourite for their matches with the odds of @1.14.

In other games Kerber won after few minutes we are going to have a big game as Swiatek will face Chines Wang in men games we have Zverev and Musetti won their games easily but Wawrinka lost his match Moutet having Walkover and after few minutes we are going to have Medevdev going to play his game against Austrian ofner for the next round spot.

I think that Nadal and Djokovic at this point of their career could focus also in other competitions since they have no more the same chances in atp500 or slams.
Its not wrong at all. They choose were to invest their energy no One should be force to play Olympics.

Actualy there is no match between the two players, since there is a sound 6-0 for Djokovic.
Well, a massive defeat like this sounds really crazy since both are true legend of this sport. For sure this is not Nadal the we have seen in the past years...
By the way funny tournament this year, in the previous edition of Olympics it wasn't with so many famous players on headlines.

I was expecting a much closer contest. Nadal said in his interview afterwards
that Novak was just better and he didnt have the answers on the day.

Look at Nadal and Djokovic who are almost the same age and their performance level is decreasing because both of them have gone through all the successful times in their careers so far, now they can only go with the flow by remaining in several competitions in the future until they actually decide to retire.
Moreover, almost every competition is always dominated by great tennis players who are much younger, they have enormous potential and from this it can be concluded that in the future we will see new era filled with young tennis players.

Today they played in the 2024 Olympics for men singles in the second round, while in this match Djokovic is still ahead.
I think the victory will belong to Djokovic and he is one of the favorites in the Olympics although it is not guaranteed that he can easily win the championship.

Nadal has already said he is retiring after this season, maybe Djokovic will announce
something next year. I would expect Novak to call it a day if he cannot at least win tournaments.

Alexander Zverev vs Tomas Machac
Reigning Olympic champion Alexander Zverev came to the Paris 2024 Olympics to defend his title and scored a comfortable victory over Jaume Munar. Tomas Machac defeated a talented opponent in Zhang Zhizhen in three sets. Machac is a good clay court player and is in form for 2024, but given Zverev's playing strength at Roland Garros, it will be very difficult for Machac to go up against Zverev. The advantage in this match is, of course, the German tennis player Zverev.

Zverev through comfortably.



Just watching Schmiedlova v Paolini ATM, final set, the heat is cripling and I really
hope Oaolini comes through for my bet. -not looking good though-

Absolutely, the olympics are massive for an athletes calendar.

Why is Nadal and Djokovic bothering to play then?

Because they really want at least a medal and especially a Gold.

Already Nadal/Alcaraz have their first win and Nadal playes soon today against
Fucsovics. Alcaraz is already through his first round as is Djokovic.

Very busy day in the mens tournament.
Gold Medal win in Olympics is surely a big honour for any sportsperson because this is historic achievement for countries and players we have many countries which fail to bring anything in decades, and they are feeling shame about this, but few are fighting hard for this as well. Few minutes back we have hard fought for the Rafael Nadal which took 150 minutes to beat his Hungarian opponent in three sets.

We have few big names those have wins into their games and few are waiting for their games as coming in next few minutes in WTA we have upset as N Osaka lost to her German opponent Anglena Kerber and Gauff is waiting for her match which is going to start in few minutes.

We are going to have actions packed days here in Paris with most of the top-ranking players are giving their best for having top honour in these games.

I watched Osaka play, a real mixed bag performance, some pure class moments
followed by unforced errors and double faults. very frustrating.



First up tomorrow in the second round is Djokovic v Nadal. Thats a dream
line up. I havent seen Djokovic play but Nadal looked good against Fucsovics
earlier today. Djokovic is favoured currently at 1.14 v 5.50

Alcaraz, Tsitsipas and Ruud play tomorrow and are expected to win.
