Among those in action on the tennis courts Wednesday are Spain’s Rafael Nadal and Great Britain’s Andy Murray, with both in search of their second Olympic gold medal in men’s singles. Nadal takes on France’s Gilles Simon in the third round match, with Murray facing Italy’s Fabio Fognini in another third round match. Nadal is scheduled to begin play at noon Eastern, with Murray’s match scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
The mixed doubles tournament begins Wednesday, with Americans Venus Williams and Rajeev Ram looking to redeem themselves after quick exits in other tournaments in Rio. Williams was bounced from both the women’s singles and women’s doubles tournaments in the first round, and dealing with illness during that portion of the week didn’t so her any favors.
