Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz all are on the Paris Olympics’ tennis schedule Saturday, July 27, the first day of action at Roland Garros.
PARIS —
Serbia’s Djokovic will compete in singles only, Nadal in doubles only and Alcaraz in both. Nadal and Alcaraz are teammates in doubles for Spain and will face Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni of Argentina at Court Philippe Chatrier during the night session. Djokovic owns 24 Grand Slam titles. Nadal has 22, plus two Olympic golds — one in singles in 2008 and in doubles in 2016.
“Expectations for the Olympics are high, and I can’t and don’t want to change that. It creates a personal motivation for me to approach it in the best possible way for the best possible result,” said Djokovic, who took home a bronze in 2008.
