Texas A&M product Austin Krajicek gets silver medal in Olympic tennis
PARIS — Matt Ebden’s 2024 Olympics started with his first singles match in more than two years — a 6-0, 6-1 loss to Novak Djokovic as a fill-in after other players pulled out of that event. A week later, back in his element as a doubles player, Ebden will leave France as a gold medalist with partner John Peers.
Ebden and Peers won Australia’s second tennis gold medal in Summer Games history on Saturday, beating Texas A&M product and Allen resident Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram of the United States 6-7 (6), 7-6 (1), 10-8 in a match tiebreaker in the men’s doubles final. Olympics doubles uses a first-to-10, win-by-two tiebreaker in place of a traditional third set.
“I knew this would come up,” Ebden said when asked about the way his Summer Games began. “Last night, I did think of it. I was actually dreaming of an Instagram post, like: ‘How it started; how it’s going.’ … Swipe right, and there’s a gold-medal photo.”
Ebden and Peers trailed by a set and 4-2 in the second before breaking Ram’s serve to begin the comeback. Their tennis gold follows the one won for Australia by Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde in men’s doubles at Atlanta in 1996.
“It’s trippy. It’s more than a dream. I didn’t even dream of winning a gold medal growing up or whatever,” Ebden said. “The last few years, I had great success on the doubles court. It gave a lot of belief and confidence coming in here.”
He is a 36-year-old doubles specialist who has been ranked No. 1 in that event and has won two Slam trophies in men’s doubles and one in mixed. In singles? Until facing Djokovic — “My main goal in that match was just not to get injured,” Ebden joked Saturday — he hadn’t competed in a tour-level, main-draw singles match since June 2022.
Djokovic said he thinks the rules should be changed so someone like Ebden does not wind up on the court in singles at the Summer Games.
Ebden hasn’t even had a singles ranking since he was No. 970 the week of May 29, 2023. But he already was in Paris to compete in men’s doubles and so that made him available for the singles competition when 16th-ranked Holger Rune of Denmark pulled out because of a wrist injury.
When Saturday’s match ended, the children of Peers and Ebden climbed out of the stands to hug their fathers. Ebden draped a replica gold medal around the neck of his son, whom he then tossed in the air and caught.
Peers, who won a bronze in mixed doubles with Ash Barty at the Tokyo Games three years ago, said his oldest daughter has been saying she wanted a gold. Now she can bring it to school for show-and-tell.
“They’re going to be talking about this one,” Peers said, “until we’re 100.”
Peers has been No. 2 in doubles and owns one Grand Slam title each in men’s doubles — which came by beating twins Bob and Mike Bryan in the final of the 2017 Australian Open — and mixed doubles.
The 40-year-old Ram, who is based in Indiana, was trying to become the oldest player to win an Olympics tennis gold — for men or women, in singles or doubles — since the sport returned to the Summer Games in 1988.
He and Krajicek, a 34-year-old who lives in Florida, also were trying to become the third U.S. duo to win a men’s doubles gold. The most recent had been the Bryans at London in 2012. The brothers were in the stands Saturday — Bob is the country’s men’s tennis coach in Paris, and Mike has been serving as a hitting partner and helping coach doubles.
Instead, Ram and Krajicek — who eliminated Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals — will head home with silvers.
Later Saturday, another American duo, Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul, won the bronze with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Tomas Machac and Adam Pavlasek of the Czech Republic. Machac and Katerina Siniakova won the gold in mixed doubles on Friday night.

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As Austin’s long-term rental market continues to surge alongside the city’s explosive population growth, On Q Property Management is positioning itself to capture a key segment of Central Texas’s evolving housing landscape.

On Q Austin, located at 2631 Gattis School Rd Ste 100, Round Rock, TX 78664, follows the successful launch of the company’s Dallas-area office in 2023 and reflects growing investor demand for professional property management as Austin’s long-term rental sector matures.
Founded in 2010, On Q Property Management has built its reputation on innovation, transparency, and an unusual flat-rate fee structure that hasn’t changed in over 15 years. The company now manages more than 7,000 properties nationwide, including over 1,000 in Texas alone—and sees Austin’s blend of tech workers, university housing demand, and tourism activity as essential to its growth strategy.
“Every office we open starts from the ground up,” said Matt Medonich, regional manager at On Q Property Management in Texas. “We hire locally, invest in the community, and build a team that understands the unique character of each market. Austin is no exception. Our property managers, inspectors, and support staff all call Central Texas home.”
With Formula 1, South by Southwest, and a steady influx of corporate relocations, Austin has become a magnet for real estate investors seeking long-term rental income. On Q’s entrance comes at a pivotal moment as property owners navigate evolving city regulations while maximizing returns in a competitive market.
“Austin isn’t just growing—it’s transforming,” said Rebekah Oquendo, property manager at On Q Property Management in Austin. “We’re seeing investors from across the country buying properties here specifically for long-term rentals, and they need local expertise to navigate licensing, optimize occupancy, and maintain quality standards. That’s where we come in.”
On Q has developed its own in-house technology platform, including maintenance management software, digital inspection tools, and intuitive owner portals that provide real-time updates—critical for investors managing properties remotely. The company’s secure property lockers at each office location have become a client favorite, allowing 24/7 key access for contractors, cleaning crews, and turnovers without coordination headaches.
The firm’s service model emphasizes consistency across markets while adapting to local needs—what Medonich describes as “Marriott-style reliability with neighborhood-level expertise,” particularly valuable for long-term rental owners who need dependable service at scale.
As of 2025, On Q employs more than 100 individuals across its four offices and is actively hiring in Austin for property manager, maintenance coordinator, leasing agent, and support staff positions.

Ragin’ Cajuns set for road debut on Monday in Austin
Posted:
Updated:
AUSTIN, Tx. (KLFY) – The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns Women’s Basketball team ventures out on the road for the first time in the 2025-26 season meeting No. 4 Texas on Monday, Nov.10 in Austin, Texas.
Tipoff from the Moody Center is scheduled for 7 p.m. (CST). Live coverage is available on SECN+ and The Goat 103.3 FM/1420 AM.
The contest with the Longhorns (2-0) marks the beginning of five consecutive games away from home for the Ragin’ Cajuns (0-2) that runs through Thanksgiving Weekend. The next home appearance isn’t until the Dec. 2 Education Game.
UL and Texas meet for the first time since November 2022, a game the Longhorns won 68-45 at the Moody Center.
Louisiana’s on-court competition in the 2025-26 season began with four straight appearances at the Cajundome, splitting a combination of exhibition and two regular season games. A strong second half from Bowling Green and shooting woes of their own vs. Delta State spoiled the Ragin’ Cajuns’ opening week.
Texas, the preseason SEC favorite and 2025 Final Four participant, has won 26 straight games at Moody Center and has a 51-5 all-time record at their home arena. The Longhorns are continuing a season-opening, five-game homestand having already collected wins over UIW and No. 24 Richmond.
