A tough one to call between Italy and Czechia, with Italy the higher seeds but Czechia having arguably the better players.

It might well have come down to the mixed doubles, where the Olympic stars Errani and Vavassori might make the difference for Italy.

Or not. Turns out it was. Czechia in a rout.

(Sydney is 15 hours ahead).
