Olympic Tennis Paris 7/27 - 8/4 2024

[skatingfan]

Rafa was off for most of the first set, and into the 2nd - it was 6-1 4-0 - before he found his game, and Novak got a bit tight, and there a wonderful point that ended in a cross-court forehand winner from Nadal. At 4-4 it seemed like we had a match, but then Novak did what he's done so many times before and raised his level and ended the match.

Svitolina looked like her old self winning a tight match against Pegula 4-6, 6-1, 6-3.

Daniil Medvedev cannot return Errani's serve.
That finally explains how she reached a slam final.

I'll just leave this here...

Donna Vekic just beat Coco 7-6, 6-2. Only following scores. Anyone see what happened?

Some players play much better in Olympics and others the same or worse...

There was an out call that was overruled. Coco argued that the overrule call was late and an out call affected her. But she wasn't given a let. Point was given to Vekic and it was a break in the 2nd set.

Also Gauff had a 5-2 lead in the first set, and a 6-4 lead in the first set tiebreak.

I don't understand how the umpire can't correct what they admit was their own mistake. Is it because they called the game for Vekic before acknowledging that Gauff had a play on the incorrectly called ball?
