Nadal, Alcaraz, Djokovic headline first day of Olympic Tennis Event
Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal will all be in action on Day 1 of the Olympic Tennis Event Saturday at Roland Garros in Paris.
Alcaraz is in line for a hectic Olympics debut, facing Lebanon’s Hady Habib during the day session on Court Suzanne-Lenglen before heading to Court Philippe-Chatrier to open the night session with doubles partner Rafael Nadal. ‘Nadalcaraz’ will play sixth-seeded Argentines Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni.
Chasing his first Olympic singles gold, Djokovic will take on Australian Matthew Ebden, better known as one of the game’s leading doubles players. Ebden, who reached as high as No. 39 in the PIF ATP Rankings as a singles player, last took to the court solo almost two years ago at the ATP 250 in Winston-Salem.
Other big names in action Saturday include Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul and Felix Auger-Aliassime.
