Czechia's Kateřina Siniaková and Tomáš Macháč defeated China's Wang Xinyu and Zhang Zhizhen in the final, 6–2, 5–7, [10–8] to win the gold medal in mixed doubles tennis at the 2024 Summer Olympics.[1] It was Czechia's first Olympic medal in mixed doubles tennis, and Siniaková's second Olympic gold medal after winning the women's doubles event in 2021.[2][3] In the bronze medal match, Canada's Gabriela Dabrowski and Félix Auger-Aliassime defeated Demi Schuurs and Wesley Koolhof of the Netherlands, 6–3, 7–6(7–2). It was Canada's second Olympic tennis medal.[4] In the event, 32 players (16 teams) from 16 nations participated in the draw.[5]
