Czech tennis duo Katerina Siniakova and Tomas Machac celebrated their Olympic mixed doubles gold with a kiss, sparking speculation of a romantic reunion.
The pair had broken up just weeks before during the Prague Open, ending a relationship that began in 2020. Despite their personal issues, they remained committed to competing together in the Olympics, with Siniakova emphasizing their professionalism.
In the final, they triumphed over China’s Zhang Zhizhen and Wang Xinyu, winning 6-2, 5-7, 10-8. Fans reacted enthusiastically to the on-court kiss, with many joking that their Olympic success could rekindle their relationship.

The couple had previously supported each other’s careers, with Siniakova, a top doubles player, already holding multiple Grand Slam titles.
Despite the breakup, they maintained a positive atmosphere during the tournament, even humorously noting that their “chemistry is very good.”
Machac mentioned that they have been sleeping separately in the Olympic village but continue to share friendly interactions. Whether the Olympic victory will lead to a reconciliation remains uncertain, as the pair has chosen to stay private about their personal lives.
