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 are Yesh Ginsburg and Steen Kirby. 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!
Yesh
This should be a fun one. The Hungarians are probably better on the whole right now than Griekspoor is, but Koolhof’s doubles prowess is probably the decider.
Prediction: Griekspoor and Koolhof in 2

It’s the Thiagos against the Alexanders (though they spell their names differently). This should be fun, with four pretty unique players on the court. The Brazilians are more comfortable on clay, so I’ll stick with them.
Prediction: Monteiro and Seyboth Wild in 2
Yesh
Expect some serious emotions in this one, as it’s likely Andy Murray’s final professional match. We hope he’s healthy enough to make it competitive, and doubles is easier on the body, but he’s probably not advancing. Then again, no one ever knows how healthy Nishikori is, either.
Prediction: Daniel and Nishikori in 3
