July 29, 2024

Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray will both continue their doubles campaigns at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday.

Nadal, who lost to top seed Novak Djokovic in singles on Monday, will return to action alongside fellow Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz against Dutchmen Tallon Griekspoor and Wesley Koolhof. The match will be the third on Court Suzanne-Lenglen after 12 p.m., following the men’s singles match between Taylor Fritz and Jack Draper and the women’s singles match between Jasmine Paolini and Anna Karolina Schmiedlova.

Nadal and Alcaraz are playing doubles together for the first time. They defeated Argentines Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni in the first round.

Daniel Evans and Murray faced five consecutive match points on Sunday against Japan’s Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori, but the Britons saved them all and eventually advanced to the second round with a thrilling victory in Paris.

Evans and Murray will follow Alcaraz and Nadal on Court Suzanne-Lenglen when they play Belgians Sander Gille/Joran Vliegen or Frenchmen Arthur Fils/Ugo Humbert.

In singles, Tokyo gold medalist Alexander Zverev will play Czech Tomas Machac second on Court Philippe-Chatrier and fourth seed Daniil Medvedev will face Austrian Sebastian Ofner in the last match on the same court.

Former No. 3 in the PIF ATP Rankings Stan Wawrinka will also be in action Tuesday against Australian Alexei Popyrin. The Australian won the pair’s only previous Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting in last year’s Umag final.

Ninth seed Tommy Paul will take on #NextGenATP Czech Jakub Mensik and 13th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime will try to move past German Maximilian Marterer. There will also be men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles play Tuesday.
