The Olympic mixed doubles tennis champions shared a kiss to celebrate clinching gold, just weeks after the pair broke up as a real-life couple.

Czech duo Katerina Siniakova and Tomas Machac beat Chinese pair Zhang Zhizhen and Wang Xinyu 6-2 5-7 10-8 to win the event in Paris last night.

The couple, who had been dating since 2020, announced their split last month during the Prague Open but insisted they would still compete as a team at the Olympics despite their off-court problems.



Siniakova said: 'Yes, of course. It's a private matter, but of course we will play together. We are professionals.'

Now fans are going wild after the seemingly reconciliatory moment and are speculating whether the pair might be getting back together.
