Many of the athletes who compete in the Olympic Games dream of precious metal. However, it only becomes true for very few people. Belinda Bencic could have another gold in the doubles competition after the single gold success at the Olympic tennis tournament in Tokyo on Sunday. But the 24-year-old has already made Swiss tennis history.
The joy over the third Olympic gold for the Confederates was extremely great in their home country. One of the first well-wishers was none other than Roger Federer, who sent his first congratulations on Instagram just a few minutes after his compatriot's historic victory.
But not only the 20-time Grand Slam champion let his emotions run free. Among the other well-wishers were compatriot Timea Bacsinszky, the gold medal winner of Rio de Janeiro Monica Puig and the women's tennis legend Gabriela Sabatini.
