2021 Olympics women’s tennis gold medal match: How to watch online
Czech Republic's Marketa Vondrousova returns the ball to Ukraine's Elina Svitolina during their Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games women's singles semifinal tennis match at the Ariake Tennis Park in Tokyo on July 29, 2021. (Photo by Tiziana FABI / AFP) (Photo by TIZIANA FABI/AFP via Getty Images)Cubs absolutely fleeced the Yankees in Anthony Rizzo trade by John Buhler A wild Olympic tennis tournament on the women’s side is set to come to a close with the gold medal match.Normally a star-studded affair, the women’s tennis draw at the Olympics has been shaken up quite a bit by upsets. Japan’s Naomi Osaka, the heavy favorite and the woman who lit the Olympic cauldron during the opening ceremony, was upset in the third round while top seeds like Australia’s Ashleigh Barty and Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka were bounced early.We are now left with an unexpected pairing in the final tonight between No. 9 seed Belinda Bencic of Switzerland and unseeded Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic. Bencic, who is currently ranked 12th in the WTA rankings, has been pushed hard to reach this point by winning three consecutive three-set matches to reach the final, including a 7-6, 4-6, 6-3 victory over Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina in a semifinal match that lasted two hours and 44 minutes.The more improbable story belongs to Vondruousova, who is ranked 42nd in the WTA rankings and has already knocked off three seeded players on her way to the final. The headliner was her third-round shocker over Osaka, where she took out the heavy favorite in straight sets, but Vondrousova’s dominant performance against No. 4 seed Elina Svitolina in a 6-3, 6-1 straight-set victory put her in a position to claim the biggest win of her career.Neither player has won a Grand Slam but both have fared well on the hardcourt slams, with Vondrousova reaching the semifinals of the Australian Open in 2019 while Bencic peaked by reaching the semis at the U.S. Open two years ago. Winning Olympic gold could be a career-defining highlight for these women.

Fifteen-year-old tennis talent Coco Gauff holds head high after Australian Open loss
American teen sensation Coco Gauff is going to savour her Australian Open run rather than fixate on a fourth-round exit.

But fellow American Sofia Kenin ended Gauff’s Melbourne Park debut on Sunday, advancing to the…

Simona Halep Survives Marathon to Join Karolina Pliskova in Last 16
World number one Simona Halep saved three match points to survive a titanic struggle and make the last 16 at the Australian Open Saturday where she joined Karolina Pliskova and Caroline Garcia.
With the temperatures a manageable 26 Celsius (79 Farenheit) at Melbourne Park after two days of oven-like conditions, the Romanian looked out for the count against American Lauren Davis.
But she finally got over the line 4-6, 6-4, 15-13 in a gruelling 3hr 44min on Rod Laver Arena to make the fourth round in a contest that took its toll.
“I’m almost dead,” the tenacious Romanian said after the incredible battle, in which Davis lost a toenail and Halep served for the match four times.
“The feeling in my muscles is gone and I don’t feel my ankle anymore,” she added.
Davis is ranked just 76 in the world and was knocked out in the first round of all four Grand Slams last year, but you would never have known it.
Halep, a former quarter-finalist at Melbourne Park who slumped out in the first round last year, will next play Australian Ashleigh Barty or Japan’s Naomi Osaka in her quest for a maiden Grand Slam title.
Sixth seed Pliskova also had a tough test, beating fellow Czech Lucie Safarova 7-6 (8/6), 7-5.
In contrast, US Open finalist Madison Keys was in fine touch as she benefits from the guidance of former great Lindsay Davenport.
Flying under the radar, the 17th seed has surrendered just 16 games on her way to the fourth round after beating Romania’s Ana Bogdan 6-3, 6-4.
“Lindsay is amazing. We’ve had three years together and she has taught me how to handle big moments like this,” said Keys, who made the Australian Open semis in 2015.
She will next test herself against French eighth seed Garcia, who was too strong for Belarussian Alaksandra Sasnovich, winning in three sets.
“I haven’t done too well against her before and I want to improve,” Garcia said of Keys.
