Olympic Tennis Paris 7/27 - 8/4 2024

Nadal's singles participation apparently also in doubt: Rafael Nadal may not play singles at the Olympic Games due to physical problems.

According to the Spanish sports website Relevo, the atmosphere in Nadal’s circle “is not exactly optimistic” and plan B is gaining strength: concentrate on the doubles with Carlos Alcaraz and forget about the singles tournament

Rybakina out of the Olympics- for undisclosed reasons.

She posted on her Instagram an hour ago that it's because of acute bronchitis which she developed at some point after Wimbledon

Moya has apparently stated that Rafa got a thigh injury from- if I am understanding this correctly- a doubles work-out- and some heaviness in the legs. Did not practice today. UGGHHHHHH.

Rafa really has to drop it. His body simply can't take it anymore.

Oh the poor Olympics camera operators and directors. Beautiful single shots that took months of planning completely screwed by the rain because they don’t have a second camera for the director to cut away to and give time for a lens wipe.
