Michael Venus and Marcus Daniell have won New Zealand's eighth medal at Tokyo Olympics

Michael Venus and Marcus Daniell have won New Zealand's eighth medal of the Tokyo Olympics after claiming bronze in the men's doubles tennis tonight.

Competing against USA, 7-6, 6-2 was the final score.

Which means Venus and Daniell made history by winning our first ever Olympic tennis medal.

New Zealander Anthony Wilding won a bronze medal in tennis at the 1912 Olympics competing for the combined team of Australasia.

So tonight's win is the first win for a New Zealand team and technically our first tennis medal in 109 years.

Congratulations boys!
