Seoul 1988 was where Steffi Graf won singles gold, after sweeping all four major titles, to complete an unprecedented Golden Grand Slam.
At Sydney 2000, Venus Williams became the first tennis player to capture both singles and doubles gold medals at the same Games. This was a feat replicated by Nicolas Massu at Athens 2004, and Serena Williams at London 2012.
FIVE IN FOCUS: Zheng, Paul, Fritz, Raducanu, Rune
Venus and Serena are unique Olympic icons. They are the only pair to win three women’s doubles gold medals – the most in a single Olympic tennis event – and they’ve also won a record four gold medals each, given their singles triumphs in 2000 and 2012 respectively.
Thanks to Venus’ mixed doubles silver medal at Rio 2016, she is the only player since 1988 to win five Olympic medals.
