Interested in the Djokovic vs Alcaraz Olympics final? This is the page you’re looking for.

Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Taylor Fritz and Iga Swiatek are all in action at the 2024 Olympics on Wednesday, July 31 across singles and doubles. Djokovic, who beat Nadal on Monday, opens Paris Olympics tennis action on Wednesday against Dominik Koepfer of Germany. Alcaraz will be pulling double duty as he takes on Roman Safiullin in the singles before partnering with Roland-Garros legend Nadal for the primetime Paris evening quarterfinal fixture against the American duo of Rajeev Ram and Austin Krajicek. As if that isn’t enough, American No. 1 Taylor Fritz will pull off triple duty at the 2024 Olympics on Wednesday. (He had two matches on Tuesday as well.)

Fritz will start his day in singles against the Italian Lorenzo Musetti who has had a mindboggling journey of his own, having been playing nonstop since Wednesday—first in Croatia and now in Paris. Shortly after, Fritz will return to the same court for a men’s doubles match. He will partner Tommy Paul and face off against the mightily experienced Dutch duo of Robin Haase and Jean-Julien Rojer who have a combined age of 79. Lastly, Fritz will take to mixed doubles quarterfinal action at the Paris Olympics. Fellow American No. 1 Coco Gauff will join Fritz as they take on the Canadian pair of Felix Auger-Aliassime and Gabriela Dabrowski. (The Canadians are also pulling double duty on Wednesday.)

As for Swiatek, the world No. 1 and Olympics 2024 favourite plays Danielle Collins in the Olympics 2024 tennis singles quarterfinal. Wondering when and where you can watch on TV or online?
