Olympics tennis order of play and schedule: Every event, date and start time at Paris 2024

Rafael Nadal meets Novak Djokovic in their sensational ‘last dance’ at the Olympic men’s singles on Monday, while Carlos Alcaraz is also in action as the second round gets underway at Roland Garros.

The Olympic draw has set up a 60th and potentially final clash between rivals Nadal and Djokovic, who last played each other two years ago in the French Open quarter-finals. Nadal won that match, but Djokovic leads the head-to-head with 30 wins to 29 and the Serbian is bidding to win Olympic gold for the first time in his career in Paris.

Alcaraz, who is partnering Nadal in the men’s doubles, then takes on Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor while world No 1 Iga Swiatek faces a home favourite in Frenchwomen Diane Parry. Britain’s Dan Evans will face eighth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas following his heroics alongside Andy Murray.

On Sunday, Murray extended his tennis career with a stunning comeback with Evans in the men’s doubles, saving five match points to advance to the second round of his final tennis tournament. Murray and Evans will return to action on Tuesday.

The tennis competition started Saturday 27 July and runs for just over a week to Sunday 4 August, and there will be gold medals for men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles and mixed doubles events.
