Monica Puig finished her Cinderella run at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, beating Angelique Kerber in three sets to win the gold medal in the women's singles tennis tournament, 6-4, 4-6, 6-1.
The two were evenly matched throughout the first set, but Kerber started to limp toward the end of the set and requested a lengthy medical timeout after Puig took the lead. The German star recovered, however, breaking early in the second set and eventually forcing a decider.
