The USA and the Czech Republic will battle for the Bronze Medal in the Men’s Double Tennis Tournament at the Paris Olympics. Here we highlight stats regarding this match before offering our prediction.

Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul are representing the third-seeded USA while Tomas Machac and Adam Pavlasek are in the Czech team. Fritz and Paul missed on the chance to play fellow Americans Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram in the gold medal match when they lost to Australia in the semis.

Australia, represented by Matthew Ebden and John Peers won in straight sets. Now Fritz and Paul, renowned more for the singles play, will seek to bounce back and ensure a second podium finish for America.

Tomas Machac and Adam Pavlasek are a more comfortable duo on the doubles’ scene than their American opponents. They have had better careers in Doubles than they’ve experienced in singles events.

This should have them confident of claiming the Bronze. Pavlasek and Machac were defeated in the semi-finals by the other US team in the tournament. They lost in straight sets. Machac is also active in the mixed doubles alongside Katerina Siniakova and the two have progressed to the gold medal match.

This year, Machac has won a doubles title and has also played in a tour final in singles for the first time. His partner Pavlasek also competed in an ATP Doubles event final this year on clay in Madrid to mark his first ATP 1000 Masters final.
