Tennis At Paris Olympics 2024: Katerina Siniakova, Tomas Machac Shine With Gold Amid Relationship Mystery

Katerina Siniakova and Tomas Machac hugged and kissed each other when they won the 2024 Olympics mixed doubles tennis gold medal for the Czech Republic on Friday night, then laughed about keeping their relationship status 바카라�top secret.바카라� (Medal Table | Schedule & Results | Full Coverage)

Sinikova and Machac defeated Wang Xinyu and Zhang Zhizhen 6-2, 5-7, 10-8 in a match tiebreaker in the final. Olympics doubles uses a first-to-10, win-by-two tiebreaker instead of a standard third set.

Social media has been speculating about where things stand romantically between the new champions, who apparently have been a couple but might no longer be. Machac rolled his eyes when a reporter at the post-victory news conference brought up the topic by asking: 바카라�Are you still together?바카라�

바카라�That's our personal life, so you don't need to know that,바카라� Siniakova said with a chuckle. 바카라�We like when you are confused.바카라�

Machac chimed in to add: 바카라�This is top secret.바카라�

Siniakova now owns the only two Summer Games tennis titles for her country. She teamed with Barbora Krejcikova to win the women's doubles gold at the Tokyo Games three years ago.

Siniakova is a doubles specialist who has won a total of nine Grand Slam trophies.

The first seven came alongside Krejcikova. Since they stopped playing together, Siniakova teamed with Coco Gauff to win the French Open title this June 바카라� at Roland Garros, the same site being used for tennis during these Olympics 바카라� and with Taylor Townsend to win Wimbledon in July.

바카라�I showed myself that I can play well with anyone,바카라� Siniakova said, 바카라�and I should be more proud of myself.바카라�

The mixed doubles bronze went to Gabriela Dabrowski and Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada, who beat Demi Schuurs and Wesley Koolhof of the Netherlands 6-3, 7-6 (2).

Machac's two best results in men's doubles at Slam events came with Zhang as his partner this year. They are good pals and reached the Australian Open semifinals in January, then the quarterfinals at the French Open.

바카라�Friendship's totally broken,바카라� Zhang joked. 바카라�He destroyed my Olympic Games.바카라�

He and Wang leave Paris with a silver medal. Another player from China, Zheng Qinwen, will play in the women's singles gold medal match on Saturday against Donna Vekic of Croatia.

Chinese tennis 바카라�is getting better,바카라� Zhang said.

As for what advice the more-experienced and more-successful Siniakova offered Machac ahead of Friday's final, he offered a kidding response, saying she told him: 바카라�Ace on the line and winner on the line.바카라�

Siniakova made clear that her view actually is: 바카라�With a team, you are two, so it's really helpful when you communicate and you help each other.바카라�

Sounds like perfect words of wisdom for a doubles pair.

Or an off-the-court couple.
