The Olympic tennis event at the Paris 2024 Games has been nothing short of spectacular, offering fans unforgettable moments and historical milestones.

Held at the iconic Stade Roland Garros, the tournament featured top players from around the world competing on the renowned red clay courts.

The event kicked off on July 27, a day after the Opening Ceremony, and concluded on August 4 with the men’s singles gold medal match. Players from 40 countries battled it out in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles formats, showcasing their skills in a single-elimination setup. The men's singles draw featured 64 players, while the doubles and mixed doubles draw included 32 and 16 pairs, respectively.

One of the standout stories of the tournament was China’s Zheng Qinwen, who made history by winning the women’s singles gold medal. Zheng defeated Croatia’s Donna Vekic 6-2, 6-3 in a commanding performance. This victory marked the first Olympic tennis gold for China, inspired by her idol, Li Na, and cemented Zheng's place as a rising star in the tennis world.

The men’s singles event was equally riveting, with Germany’s Alexander Zverev seeking to defend his gold medal from Tokyo 2021. Despite strong competition, Zverev managed to secure a place in the finals again, solidifying his status as one of the top players of his generation. Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, still chasing his first Olympic gold, made a formidable run but fell short once more.

In the men’s doubles, Australia’s Matthew Ebden and John Peers claimed gold after a thrilling match against the USA’s Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram. The women's singles bronze went to Poland's Iga Swiatek, who bounced back from a tough semifinal loss to secure a medal for her country.

Lorenzo Musetti of Italy also made headlines by winning the men’s singles bronze, defeating Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime in a hard-fought match. This victory ended Italy’s 100-year medal drought in men’s singles tennis, with the last medal won by Uberto de Morpurgo in Paris in 1924.

The Paris 2024 Olympic tennis event not only highlighted the sport's current stars but also offered a mix of intense competition, personal triumphs, and historic achievements.
