The time has come. After closing the Wimbledon blinds, the tennis world gathers this weekend in Paris for one of the great events of the year, the Olympic Games.
Between their eyebrows the great stars of the racket have the gold medal that will be awarded on Sunday, August 4 on the Philliphe Chatrier court at Roland Garros. There are four names that stand out from the rest: Jannik Sinner (1), Novak Djokovic (2), Carlos Alcaraz (3) and Rafa Nadalthe only one of them that starts as seeded.
certainly His status as an unseeded player fills the draw for the individual draw of incentives.which will be held this Thursday starting at 11 am.
And Nadal could face Sinner, Djokovic or, as happened in the past at Roland Garros, Zverev in the first round. What he cannot match is Alcarazbecause in the Olympic Games two representatives of the same country cannot meet until the round of 16.
Unlike a Grand Slam, the Games will have 16 and not 32 seedsbecause the table consists of 64 tennis players and not 128.
At the same ceremony, the draw for the doubles draws will be held, with Nadal and Alcaraz being the great attraction. The Italian duo formed by Sinner and Musetti start as the first seed and their compatriots Andrea Vavassori and Simone Bolelli, as the second. In the women’s competition, Sara Sorribes and Cristina Bucsa are part of the eight favorite couples.
The tournament starts on Saturday 27th midway through the first round of individual draws. This first round will be completed on Sunday and the second will be played between Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday is the turn of the round of 16 and Thursday for the quarterfinals, leaving the semifinals for Friday. The bronze medal match will be played on Saturday and the grand final on Sunday.
