Ebden and Peers Win Olympic Doubles Gold

Australian tennis veterans Matthew Ebden and John Peers achieved a remarkable comeback to win the men's doubles gold medal at the Olympics, defeating Americans Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram with a score of 6-7 (6), 7-6 (1), 10-8. This victory marks Australia's first Olympic tennis gold since the legendary duo 'The Woodies' won in 1996. Despite losing the first set and being down a break, Ebden and Peers rallied to triumph in a thrilling match that included three tie-breaks. Their families were present at Court Philippe Chatrier, adding to the emotional weight of the moment. In contrast, sprinter Rohan Browning faced disappointment, finishing sixth in his 100m heat and missing the semi-finals, despite recording his best time of the season. He acknowledged the challenges of his year, including a knee injury, but remains hopeful for future competitions.
