If he beats the Australian, Novak could play against Rafael Nadal in the second round. That is, if the Spaniard first defeats Marton Fucsovics.

If Novak reaches the 3rd round, Arthur Fils is the next potential rival.

Tsitsipas or Baez could find themselves in Djokovic's way in the quarterfinals, Zverev, Fritz or Musetti in the semifinals and Alcaraz, Medvedev or Ruud in the final.

The tennis tournament starts a day after the official opening of the games, that is, July 27, and will last until August 4, for when the gold medal match is scheduled. The day before, athletes will compete for bronze.

The matches will be played on the French Open courts and will start every day at 12:00 (noon). It is also worth mentioning that they will be played in two sets.
