Tokyo Olympics 2020: Marcus Daniell, Michael Venus become first Kiwis to win Olympic tennis medal for 109 years

Tokyo: Marcus Daniell and Michael Venus became the first New Zealanders to win an Olympic tennis medal for 109 years on Friday, beating Americans Austin Krajicek and Tennys Sandgren in the men’s doubles bronze-medal match. Daniell and Venus won 7-6 (7/3), 6-2 to continue an excellent Tokyo Games for New Zealand. The only previous tennis medal winner from the country was Anthony Wilding, representing Australasia, who took indoor singles bronze in Stockholm in 1912. The four-time Wimbledon champion was killed during World War I three years later. “To follow in his footsteps, he was New Zealand’s best ever tennis player, is surreal,” said Daniell. “It hasn’t sunk in yet, I’m a bit in disbelief. This is going to take some weeks to process.” Daniell and Venus had lost in the semi-finals on Thursday to Croatia’s Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig, who face compatriots Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic in the gold-medal match later Friday. It was New Zealand’s eighth medal of the 2020 Olympics so far. Sandgren and Krajicek’s defeat ensured it will be the first time the United States have failed to win an Olympic tennis medal since the 1920 Antwerp Games. Tennis was not on the Olympic programme between 1924 and 1988. Team USA were without their top four ranked men’s players and Serena Williams, Sofia Kenin and Coco Gauff in Japan.
