Tennis is returning to Paris. But this time, it's for the 2024 Summer Olympics
At the 2020 Summer Olympics, tennis fans saw Germany’s Alexander Zverev and Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic win gold medals in singles for men’s and women’s tennis, respectively.
This year, however, numerous Americans have a real shot to take home a medal in all events. Players like Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula and Danielle Collins will be gunning for gold on the women’s side. On the men’s side, sights are set on U.S. players Taylor Fritz, Tommy Pau and Christopher Eubanks.
Even though the action will take place in Paris, NBC and Peacock will be covering all the intense tennis matches to come.
