Australia's Ebden & Peers win men's doubles gold

Matthew Ebden and John Peers fought back from a set and a break down against America's Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram to win Olympic gold for Australia in the men's doubles in Paris.

In the first-to-10 match tie-break, they wrapped up a 6-7 (6-8) 7-6 (7-1) 10-8 victory with their fourth match point.

Peers, a former doubles partner of Great Britain's Jamie Murray, adds a gold medal to the bronze he claimed in the mixed doubles alongside Ash Barty in Tokyo.

Ram, 40, missed out on his first Olympic gold, having won four Grand Slam doubles titles alongside Briton Joe Salisbury.

Victory for Australia came in the first of four medal matches at Roland Garros on Saturday.

China's Zheng Qinwen will take on Donna Vekic of Croatia for gold in the women's singles, while the bronze medal winners in the men's singles and men's doubles will also be decided on the Paris clay.
