Rosenmeier defeated Varela in five sets, battling back several times when it seemed he may have to settle for silver.

“It is always a hell of a game when we play against each other,” he said. “There were a lot of times along the way where I was sure it was over.”

Rosenmeier has now medaled every time he competed at the Paralympics; two bronze and two gold.
