Ebden and Peers Win Olympic Gold

Australia's Matthew Ebden and John Peers triumphed in the men's doubles at the 2024 Paris Olympics, securing the gold medal by defeating Americans Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram in a thrilling final that ended 6-7(6), 7-6(1), 10-8. This victory marks Australia's second Olympic tennis gold since 1996. Ebden, who faced a humiliating 6-1, 6-0 defeat by Novak Djokovic in the singles a week earlier, rebounded remarkably to achieve this milestone. Both players, aged 36, demonstrated resilience, coming from behind in both sets to clinch the win. Their victory was celebrated by several Australian tennis stars and marks a significant achievement in their careers.
