The tennis tournaments at the Paris Olympics continue with ten men’s doubles matches on Sunday. The quest for Gold features some of the top players in the sport. As always, we here at LastWordOnTennis will predict all matches for you. Predicting these matches is Yesh Ginsburg. Who do you think will move on to Round 2?
We will link to our other Olympic predictions at the bottom of the article. Enjoy!
Paris Olympics Men’s Day 2 Doubles Predictions
Robin Haase and Jean-Julien Rojer (Netherlands) vs Francisco Cerundolo and Tomas Martin Etcheverry (Argentina)
Yesh
Rojer is the best doubles player of the bunch, but he’s well past his prime and paired with a mercurial partner. The Argentines like the clay better, which might make the difference.
Prediction: Cerundolo and Etcheverry in 2
Alex de Minaur and Alexei Popyrin (Australia) vs Rajeev Ram and Austin Krajicek (United States)
Yesh
The Australians are honestly built to be a perfect doubles pair, but they don’t play it enough. Meanwhile, Ram is ageless and Krajicek is quietly one of the most impressive doubles players since the Bryans retired.
Prediction: Ram and Krajicek in 2
Stefanos Tsitsipas and Petros Tsitsipas (Greece) vs Nuno Borges and Francisco Cabral (Portugal)
Yesh
Borges is currently in the best form of his life, but the Portuguese pair will be outclassed. Petros might not be a Tour-level player, but he has great chemistry with his brother and they’re a strong doubles pair.
Prediction: Tsitsipas and Tsitsipas in 2
