Tomas Machac and Katerina Siniakova staged a remarkable comeback to secure the mixed doubles gold medal for Czechia at the Paris Olympics. Facing the Chinese pair Wang Xinyu and Zhang Zhizhen, the Czechs trailed 6-8 in a tense match tie-break. However, after leveling the score at 8-all, they capitalized on a double fault from Zhang that gave them match point. The gold was sealed when Machac's powerful service return forced Wang into a volleying error, despite her earlier success with decisive poach volleys.
In their first Olympic mixed doubles appearance, Machac and Siniakova made history as the first Czechia team to win gold in this event, triumphing 6-2, 5-7, 10-8. Siniakova added a second Olympic gold to her collection, having previously won the women's doubles gold in Tokyo with Barbora Krejcikova.
