Israeli tennis player Guy Sasson loses his semifinal match in the men’s quad singles at the 2024 Paris Paralympics to the Netherlands’ Sam Schroder.

Missing out on the final, Sasson will now instead compete in the bronze medal match on Thursday against Turkey’s Ahmet Kaplan.

Sasson, 44, lost to Schroder in the 2024 Australian Open, and then several months later beat him at the 2024 French Open to take his first major singles title.
