Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Andrey Rublev, representing the Russian Olympic Committee, won the gold medal, defeating compatriots Elena Vesnina and Aslan Karatsev in the final, 6–3, 6–7(5–7), [13–11], in capturing the Mixed Doubles tennis event at the 2020 Summer Olympics. The bronze medal was won by Ashleigh Barty and John Peers of Australia, after Nina Stojanović and Novak Djokovic of Serbia withdrew from the bronze medal match.[1]
Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jack Sock won the title in 2016, but Sock did not qualify for the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Mattek-Sands participated with Rajeev Ram, but they lost in the first round to Laura Siegemund and Kevin Krawietz.[2]
The competition was a single-elimination tournament with a bronze medal match. Matches were best-of-3 sets, except that the third set was a match tiebreak (first to 10 points) instead of a typical set. A tiebreak was played if one of the first two sets reached 6–6. This was the 7th (medal) appearance of the mixed doubles tennis event.[citation needed]
Qualification[edit]
Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter up to two pairs (four players). There are 16 pairs places (32 players) in the event. Qualification is based primarily on the ranking lists of 14 June 2021.[3] Mixed Doubles teams will be selected from athletes that have been accepted for the singles and/or the doubles events. 15 places are allocated to the highest ranked teams based on the combined ranking of each team. One place goes to the highest ranked nominated team from the host nation.
The entries for the competition must be made on-site by 11am local time on 27 July.[3]
Schedule[edit]
The competition is held over five days from 28 July to 1 August 2021. Times given are the start of tennis sessions, though the mixed doubles shares courts with other tennis events.[4]
