Tennis at the Paris 2024 Olympics games: full schedule details revealed

Published

on

Anticipation has been building all year, and now the Paris 2024 Olympic Games are just a week away.

Thousands of competitors across the globe will compete in 32 different sports, and tennis proves to be one of the must-watch sports of the Games.

Action at Roland Garros begins on the first full day of Paris 2024 – Saturday 27th July – and we take you through all you need to know about the tournament, with a full day-by-day schedule.

Men’s singles: Alcaraz aims to continue surge as Djokovic targets elusive gold
An Olympic gold medal is the only thing missing from Novak Djokovic’s stacked trophy cabinet, and the Serbian heads to a fifth, likely final, Olympics this summer.

The Serbian is not the favourite though, with French Open and Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz perhaps the best bet for gold on his tournament debut.

World No 1 Jannik Sinner and defending champion Alexander Zverev will likely also be in contention, while former champions Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray compete in their final Games.

Women’s singles: Swiatek looks to continue clay dominance
World No 1 Iga Swiatek lost just once on clay this year and, despite an early Wimbledon loss, the Pole is a huge favourite for women’s singles gold.

Swiatek is on a 21-match winning streak at Roland Garros having won the French Open for three years in a row, and has only lost twice in five appearances on site.

Behind her, world No 2 Coco Gauff and world No 4 Elena Rybakina are among the strong contenders, as is Roland Garros and Wimbledon runner-up Jasmine Paolini.

New SW19 winner and former French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova will look to add singles gold to her doubles crown from Tokyo – with a new champion ensured.
