    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!

    I see we topped the medal table for Rowing. A good year on the water for kiwis, let's hope it continues for the sailors.
