The 2020 Olympic Games will conclude with the men's final on Sunday as Alexander Zverev takes on Karen Khachanov.
Alexander Zverev played a very good Olympics from start to finish somewhat quietly reaching the medal round. In the medal round, he faced the mammoth challenge of beating a seemingly unbeatable Novak Djokovic. After losing the opening set 1-6 he came back to win 6-3 6-2.
Karen Khachanov also played a quiet Olympics event but the Russian had a more favourable draw than Zverev. In the semifinal, he faced Pablo Carreno Busta and overcame with ease. The Russian picked up some form in Wimbledon after playing a lacklustre 2021 season.
Neither of them has ever played at the Olympics so it will be a new experience for them. Zverev is the better player overall and should be the heavy favourite ahead of the match. Khachanov is capable of big results when things go his way like when he won the Masters in Paris.
Zverev has won bigger matches and usually deals with the pressure well. However, he has failed in the biggest match of his career (2019 US Open) after leading 2-0 in sets. The match will be played at 09:30 CET.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026
- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
