Barega going backwards at a rate of knots. Can't understand why he went so hard to catch Kissa.

Seems he did it for shits and giggles. Imagine doing that twice!

Those 10km dudes are insane. Need a feed though. Look like they’ve been through Dachau.

I thought it was 5 sets like normal tennis! but its over!

Doubles is never 5 sets, only men’s grand slam matches are 5 sets.

Great win. An unexpected medal for sure.

Olympic doubles isn't even 3 sets, it's two sets and a first to 11 super tie break!
