Best result of the night, Alexander Zverev comes from a set down to beat Novak Djokovic.
How does this work "The top-ranked Serb lost to Alexander Zverev of Germany 1-6 3-6 6-1 in the semifinals of the Tokyo Olympics tennis tournament"
It was said up thread that Olympics are best of three, only grand slams are 5, so 1-6, 3-6 is game over, why the other 1-6? Confused? Or is Olympic gold a slam? Even if it is that's 2 losses and then a win, did they play the last set for fun?Oh I see, stuff stuffed it actually "Wow. Not many would have seen this coming after Novak Djokovic won the first set 6-1, but Alexander Zverev turned the match on its head to win 1-6, 6-3, 6-1! As Djokovic heads off court, Zverev takes it all in, practically alone in the arena."
Fucking stuff

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.
Every day's a school day 👍🏻

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