Will Rafael Nadal play at the 2024 Olympics?

The King of Clay is returning to his favorite court.

Rafael Nadal will compete in his third and final Olympics this summer at Roland-Garros, where he has won 14 French Open titles. He struggled in this year's French Open, however, falling to defending Olympic gold medalist Alexander Zverev in the first round.

The 38-year-old Spaniard has two Olympic gold medals in his trophy case, winning men's singles in 2008 and men's doubles in 2016. He did not compete at the 2012 or 2020 Olympics due to injury.

Will Novak Djokovic play at the 2024 Olympics?

Novak Djokovic is the most decorated men's tennis player in history when it comes to Grand Slams, but he will be chasing a career first in Paris.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion only has one Olympic medal, claiming bronze at the 2008 Beijing Games. Among men's players with at least 20 Grand Slam titles, he is the only one to never stand atop the Olympic podium with gold around his neck.

Djokovic and Nadal could play each other in the second round of the men's singles event if they each win their first-round match. Djokovic will face Australia's Matthew Ebden to begin the tournament, while Nadal will square off against Hungary's Marton Fucsovics.

Will Carlos Alcaraz play at the 2024 Olympics?

Carlos Alcaraz is rolling into Roland-Garros.

The 21-year-old from Spain has already won four Grand Slams and is coming off back-to-back major titles with triumphs at the French Open and Wimbledon. He is now the favorite to earn gold at his first Olympics.

Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic to win the men’s Wimbledon singles title on Sunday.

Will Naomi Osaka play at the 2024 Olympics?

Naomi Osaka will be back on the Olympic stage after lighting the cauldron in Tokyo at the last Summer Games.

She reached the third round in her first Olympics and is coming off a second-round defeat to eventual champion Iga Swiatek at Wimbledon.
