The match tie-break was proven to be a solid moment for Dila and Kato. Their powerful returns enabled them to secure a 6-0 lead, sliding through Leylah and Beth's serves. Leylah and Beth managed to catch up somewhere until 8-4, but it was not until Dila's smash in a one-two-punch manner that they secured a match point. They then converted their only match point after Kato's successful volley to close that rally.

This victory marks Dila's second WTA doubles title (after Bogota 2022), and Kato's third WTA doubles title (first since 2018)! Besides, it's their first WTA doubles title together. For Beth, this signifies a strong comeback before the Australian Open. A late recap will follow, as another match I followed began right after this one...

The Most Successful Tennis Players at the Summer Olympics

Winning an Olympic medal is a monumental achievement for any athlete. Various factors can increase the difficulty of winning a medal in certain sports. For instance, the average professional tennis player has a career of between nine and 10 years, meaning they have about two opportunities to compete for Olympic medals. The tennis program is small, with singles, doubles, and mixed competitions. Despite these challenges, several tennis players have won multiple Olympic and gold medals.

Tennis made its Olympic debut at the first Olympics in 1896 and was a recurring event through 1924. It returned to the Summer Olympics as a demonstration sport in 1968 and 1984 before the International Olympic Committee recognized tennis as a medal sport once again in 1988.

Venus and Serena Williams are the most decorated Olympic tennis players of all time. They have each earned medals in singles and have enjoyed considerable success as a doubles team representing the United States. Venus Williams won the gold medal in the women’s singles event at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. It marked the third consecutive gold for the US in the event. Williams earned the gold over Russian’s Elena Dementieva, who would win the event eight years later. American Monica Seles rounded out the podium.

American women did not medal in singles competitions at the 2004 Athens or 2008 Beijing events, but Serena Williams returned the gold to the US at the 2012 London Olympics. She defeated long-time rival Maria Sharapova in the gold medal match, which was held on Wimbledon’s Centre Court. It was a dream event for Williams, who teamed with her sister Venus to win the gold medal in doubles. In the final, they defeated Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka of the Czech Republic.

The London victory was the third gold medal for the Williams sisters. They also earned gold at the Sydney Games, giving Venus two golds at the event and in Beijing. Venus earned an additional silver medal in the 2016 mixed doubles event in Rio de Janeiro, partnering with Rajeev Ram. They lost the gold medal match to the American team of Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jack Sock.

Kathleen McMake Godfree of Great Britain also holds five Olympic medals, including a gold medal in doubles at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics. She also has two bronze and two silver medals.

Great Britain’s Reginald Doherty won four Olympic medals between 1900 and 1908, more than any other man. However, Andy Murray, also representing Great Britain, has won three medals and holds the unique distinction of being the only singles player to win multiple gold medals.

Murray’s first gold medal came dramatically. Carrying the burden of England’s long drought at Wimbledon, Murray reached the 2012 Wimbledon final and faced Roger Federer, who won the match over four tough sets. Less than two months later, Murray would find himself standing on the same court, again staring across the net at Federer, who was often regarded as the greatest Wimbledon player of all time. Murray had more than recovered from the Wimbledon defeat, routing the grass court legend 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 to win the gold.

Murray partnered with Laura Robson during the London Olympics and won a silver medal in mixed doubles. He returned to Wimbledon in 2013, winning the title, and later defended his gold medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
