After a rain-disrupted start to the tennis schedule in Paris, we've got a jam-packed day of Olympic action ahead, with Rafael Nadal (38), Coco Gauff (20) and Alexander Zverev (27) all taking to the court. There is also an ATP final in Atlanta to look forward to a little later on.

22:49 CET - Dominik Koepfer (30) is the final person through in the singles competition on Sunday after beating Milos Raonic (33) in a third-set tie-breaker after each set went to a tie-break 6-7, 7-6, 7-6.

20:42 CET - Andy Murray (37) and Dan Evans (34) are through against Taro Daniel (31) and Kei Nishikori (34)! They seemed down and out when they were a set and a break down and then again when they had to save multiple match points in the deciding tie-break. They won 2-6, 7-6 (7-5), 11-9.

17:20 CET - A short story of two Greek brothers. Stefanos Tsitsipas (25) is one of the world best players and despite a tough test in the way of Zizou Bergs (25), he came through 7-6 (8-6), 1-6, 6-1 to progress into the second round at the Olympics.

His brother Petros Tsitsipas (24) is not one of the world best players and his Olympic journey came to a swfit end at the hands of Dutch player Tallon Griekspoor (28), losing 6-2, 6-3.

16:30 CET - Anna Schmiedlova (29) has come out on top against Britain's Katie Boulter (27) 6-4, 6-2 to progress. A poor showing from Boutler who is struggling for form after an underwhelming Wimbledon.

16:15 CET - Meanwhile, exciting Argentine talent Mariano Navone (23) made light work of an opponent in Nuno Borges (27) who on paper is of a similar ATP ranking and should have been a tough test. However a dominant 6-2, 6-2 victory secured his place in the second round.

16:13 CET - One man full of confidence right now is Jan-Lennard Struff (34) after his strong run in Switzerland last week and he looked on top form today at the Olympics. Germany's Struff defeated Portugal's Francisco Cabral (27) 6-2, 6-2 to progress.
