The weather forecast for today in Tokyo is quite pessimistic, because showers or drizzle are reported until the evening and a strong wind, so it is not at all clear whether it will be played anywhere other than on the center of the court.
–
Klein and Polášek’s match against Sandgren and Krajicek has been postponed indefinitely due to bad weather in Tokyo. So far, only the singles match between Tsitsipas and Tiafo is being played, which is played under a closed roof. We will inform you as soon as more information is known about when the tennis players could get on the court.

Welcome to the second round of the Olympic doubles tennis tennis tournament, in which we are represented thanks to Filip Polášek and Lukáš Klein. The Slovak pair, which is not so well played together, managed to overcome the difficult Russian obstacle of Medvedev and Karatsev at the beginning, even succeeded in the match without losing the set and serve. She allowed her opponents only three breakballs in the last game, which, however, managed to be averted and after almost an hour and a half she could enjoy excellent success for Slovakia. However, we hope that he will not stay only in the second round, because they will have a duel with American tennis players Tennys Sandgren and Austin Krajicek, who defeated the Australian couple Peers with Purcell in the third-set supertable.
Sandgren is known to tennis fans mainly from singles, because he plays it regularly, unlike doubles, in which he participates occasionally, and therefore he is only in the third hundred in the doubles ranking and should definitely be a weaker member of the American pair. Krajicek, on the other hand, is a much more experienced doubles player when he is in 50th place in this ranking and has also won four doubles titles in his career. His doubles success rate is only 50 percent, so he loses every other match. It would definitely please us now, because it would mean that Polášek and Klein will advance to the next round. The only advantage of the American pair over ours should be greater playfulness, because they have played together in several tournaments in the past, but then they stopped working together for a while and only joined this season to prepare together for the Olympic Games. However, their preparations did not go as planned, as they won only two of the six matches, so they probably didn’t go to Tokyo with too high expectations either.
