Yesterday, the Tokyo Olympics ended all the matches in the tennis event, and the following is the situation of gold, silver and bronze medalists.
Men's singles: Germany's Zverev won the gold medal, the Russian Olympic Committee's Khachanov won the silver medal and Spain's Busta won the bronze medal.
Women's singles: Switzerland's Bencic won the gold medal, czech Republic's Vandrosova won the silver medal and Ukraine's Svitolina won the bronze medal.
Men's doubles: Croatia's Pavic/McTic won the gold medal, Croatia's Cilic/Dodig won the silver medal and New Zealand's Venus/Daniel won the bronze medal.
Women's doubles: Czech Krejickova/Snjakova won gold, Switzerland's Bencic/Grubić won silver, and Brazil's Pigoshi/Stephanie won bronze.
Mixed doubles: Pavlyuchenkova/Rublev of the Russian Olympic Committee won the gold medal, the Russian Olympic Committee's Vesnina/Karatsev won the silver medal, and Australia's Batti/Pierce won the bronze medal.
The medals of the Olympic Games are individual honors, but also national honors. In terms of individual achievements, men's singles champion Zverev has previously won 1 year-end finals title, 4 Masters titles, 3 ATP500 championships and 7 ATP250 championships, and the championship level is only a grand slam. After losing seven times to Thiem in the final of the US Open last year, can Zverev take advantage of the momentum of the Tokyo Olympics to win the first Grand Slam at the US Open?
With this Olympic gold medal, Zverev made history for Germany, becoming the first Olympic men's singles gold medalist in tennis and the second tennis singles gold medal in Germany since Graf won the women's singles gold medal in 1988.
Along with Zverev in making history, there is also women's singles champion Bencic. Bencic, once known as Switzerland's "gifted girl", is the second Swiss to win an Olympic gold medal in singles after Mark Rossett won the men's singles title in 1992.
The most prestigious legendary stars of Swiss tennis are Federer and Singis, but neither of them has won a singles title at the Olympics. "I accomplished that goal for both of them, they achieved a lot in their careers, I'm not sure if I can achieve their goals, but I helped them achieve their goal of winning the singles title at this Olympics, so this gold medal is for both Martina and Roger." Bencic said after winning the women's singles title.
Martina Singis's Olympic best was a silver medal in women's doubles at Rio 2016, while Roger Federer won a silver medal in singles at London 2012 and a men's doubles gold medal at Beijing 2008.
Bencic further revealed that Federer sent her a message wishing her good luck before the singles final. "Yes, he messaged me. He said it was the perfect day to realize my dreams and I was very happy that he was absolutely right. He's incredible in that regard, he really supports all Swiss players. He was behind us and the support I got from Roger Federer was incredible, so the victory belonged to him too. ”
In the eyes of many, the two Olympic singles gold medals of Zverev and Bencic are the most important honors of their careers and the highest level of champions, and together they have made history for their respective countries. What many people don't know is that Zverev and Bencic have been in love before, and after Zverev was exposed to the domestic violence scandal by his girlfriend last year, Bencic also spoke and excused his former boyfriend.
Compared with the successes and major breakthroughs of Zverev and Bencic, the most frustrated person in the Olympic tennis program is obviously Djokovic. Regarding his experience, motivations and reasons for the defeat, I have reported and analyzed it in detail in the articles of the past few days. Today's news is Djokovic's father, who finally spoke up again after a long time.
Novak Djokovic's father, Serjan Djokovic, was known for his outspokenness and had previously made widely controversial remarks. Recently, Serjan revealed his text message exchanges with his son during the Olympic Games in the "Business Story" podcast.
"If my opinion means anything to you, I don't think you should go to Tokyo, it's a long way away, there's no spectator, you're going to have to go quarantine again. Love your dad. Seljan wrote in a text message to his son.
Novak Djokovic lost successively to Zverev and Busta in singles and retired from the tournament due to injury before the mixed doubles bronze medal battle. The man, who aspires to achieve the "Golden Slam" in Tokyo and even wants to win the gold medals in men's singles and mixed doubles, has to go home empty pockets.
Seljan revealed to the media his son's reply after receiving the text message, "Of course, that represents what you think of me, Dad. I wanted to spend three or four days feeling how my body was. I always recover quickly, so it's no big deal. Patriotism is very strong in my heart and mind, Dad, you know that as soon as I mention Serbia, I burst into tears, and I have no remorse [for the sake of national honor].
