Rafael Nadal is gearing up for his final Olympic appearance this summer after confirming Paris would be his last showdown on this stage.
The Spanish star opted against playing at Wimbledon earlier this summer to allow for extra training time to prepare completely for the Olympics.
However, there was still a Spanish winner at Wimbledon, as Carlos Alcaraz defended his title with second successive final win over Novak Djokovic and Nadal will team up with his compatriot in the doubles event in the French capital.
Here’s everything you need to know about Nadal’s appearance at the Olympics, including a television schedule, scores and results.

When is Rafael Nadal’s next match at 2024 Olympics?
Nadal will take on Marton Fucsovics in the first round of the singles competition on Sunday, July 28. He is set to take to the court at approximately 8 a.m. ET.
However, following his first round victory with Carlos Alcaraz in Saturday’s first round of the doubles he suggested he would have to make a late call on playing the singles or not.
“A 2:00pm game? I don’t understand the schedule,” added Nadal to the media on Saturday night in Paris. “It seems outrageous to me when I’m playing at two o’clock.
“I don’t know if I’ll play tomorrow. I’ll have to go back to the village and talk to the team, I’ll make the decision that I think is most appropriate to have a chance of getting results for Spain.
“Sometimes less is more.”
