Upcoming tennis tournament XXXI summer The Olympic Games will be the fifteenth in the history of the Olympics and the eighth in the recent history of tennis - after in 1988 tennis returned to the number Olympic species sports.
On the Olympic tournament five sets of medals will be played: in singles and doubles for men and women, as well as in the category of mixed pairs. The tournament will be held under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee, with the support of the ITF. Participants in the tennis tournament at the 2016 Olympics will not receive points in the ATP and WTA ratings.
All matches in the tournament will be played in a three-set format. The exception is the final of the men's tournament in singles, which will be held in a five-set format. The decisive set in all categories, except for the "mixed", will be held without a tie-break. In case of equality in the parties in the "mixed" game, the winner will be determined according to the "champion tie-break" system.
Singles in men Serb Novak Djokovic got the first seed... The leader of the world ranking starts with a match against Argentinean Juan Martin Del Potro, to whom he lost in the match for bronze at the 2012 Olympics in London... Already in the second round, Novak can meet with the Portuguese Joao Sousa, whose starting rival is the Dutchman Robin Haase. The most likely rival of Djokovic in the third round match is the American Jack Sok, who has secured the status of a Top-30 player.
In a duel for reaching the semifinals of the Games, the Serbian player can meet with the Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or the Spaniard Roberto Bautista-Agut, who already has two titles in 2016, won in competitions with hard surface. Luxembourger Gilles Müller is quite capable of preventing the former, while the Russian Andrey Kuznetsov will try to block the way of the latter at the start.
Also at the top of the grid is the Spaniard Rafael Nadal, who will start his performance with a match with Argentinean Federico Delbonis. Really serious competition to Raphael in the fight for reaching the quarter finals of the competition can be imposed only by the Frenchman Gilles Simon, whose results in Lately are not encouraging. Against Raphael, the fact that he not yet fully recovered from his left wrist injury... Obviously, if health allows Nadal to perform in full force, then the Spaniard with a high degree of probability will fight for a medal of the highest standard.
Japanese Kei Nishikori will start his tournament career in the third quarter, last week reached the final of "Masters" in Toronto... In the first round, he will meet with the Spaniard Albert Ramos, who had an excellent clay part of the season. Then Kei, most likely, will confront the Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis. Problems for the Japanese can begin in the 1/8 finals, where he can play with the German Philip Kohlschreiber.
The fight in the final quarter of the grid promises to be interesting as well. Of course, the status of the main favorite here belongs to Andy Murray, to the winner of gold at the London Olympics... This is not surprising, because the Briton won the Grand Slam tournament for the first time in three years - Wimbledon.
The lot was favorable to Andy in Rio de Janeiro. Although a somewhat dangerous opponent can meet Murray only in the third round, and even then the most likely contender for this - the Frenchman Benoit Peer - is far from being in optimal shape.
Only in the quarter-finals, the Briton, whose entry into this stage is beyond doubt, can face any difficulties, although, in all honesty, neither Spaniard David Ferrer nor American Steve Johnson should become a serious obstacle for Murray.
The main character at the top will be the leader of the world ranking table, American Serena Williams. The current champion of the Games will begin her tournament career with a duel with Australian Daria Gavrilova.
In the second round, Serena can meet with Frenchwoman Alize Cornet, whose starting rival will be the Swede Johanna Larsson. In the match for reaching the quarterfinals, Williams Jr. is likely to fight with Ukrainian Elina Svitolina. In a quarterfinal duel, Serena's rival may be Italian Robert Vinci or Czech Petra Kvitova.
Spaniard Garbin Mugurusa and American Venus Williams will start in the second quarter of the upper half of the tournament bracket. However, Swiss Timea Bachinski and Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova are quite capable of preventing them from meeting in the quarterfinals.
Mugurusa will begin his performance with a duel with Serbian Elena Jankovic. Already in the second round, the Spaniard can fight the Romanian Irina-Camelia Begu, and in the 1/8 finals of the Olympics, she can play with Pavlyuchenkova.
Venus Williams will face Belgian Kirsten Flipkens in the opening round. Already in the next match, the American can play with the Czech Lucy Shafarzhova, and Bachinski may become a rival of Venus in the third round match.
The third quarter of the tournament grid turned out to be no less interesting. Here, the fourth racket of the tournament, Polka Agnieszka Radwanska, will start her performance. In the first round, Agnieszka will meet with the Chinese woman Zheng Saisai. The first really dangerous rival of the polka can be the Russian woman Daria Kasatkina, with whom Radwanska can fight in the second round.
For reaching the quarterfinals of the competition, Agnieszka will most likely compete with Czech Barbara Strykova. In the quarterfinal match, the polka can play with the American Madison Keys, who a week ago became vice-champion of the competition in Montreal.
In the second quarter of the bottom half of the tournament grid, the German Angelique Kerber, who received the second number at the seeding, will start the competition. Winner of the Australian Open at the start of the tournament will meet with Colombian Mariana Duque-Marina. Despite the fact that Angelique was unable to reach the final of the tournament in Montreal, she looks like the favorite in her part of the bracket.
In the second round of the tournament, the German will play with the winner of the meeting between the Canadian Eugenie Bouchard and the American Sloane Stevens, and then, most likely, will oppose the Australian Samantha Stosur, who received the 13th number at the seeding.
In the upper part of this quarter, the main focus will be on Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova. In the first round, Svetlana will face off against the Chinese woman Jiang Wang. Then either the Romanian Monica Niculescu, or Veronica Sepede-Roig from Paraguay will stand in the way of Kuznetsova. In the third round, the Russian woman can meet with the British Johanna Conte.

Tennis entered the Olympics again only in 1988, when the summer Olympic Games took place in Seoul. Since 1900, tennis has been played by both men's and women's teams.

Tennis traditionally gathers full houses when competitions of this magnitude take place. This is a very entertaining sport, where you can observe excellent technique, the ability to use unusual techniques, as well as psychological competitions.
For the game, a court is used, which necessarily has a special coating. A net is pulled in the middle, played with rackets and a ball covered with felt. Its bright color allows you to comfortably observe what is happening. To earn a point, a player or team sends the ball to an opponent without being able to hit it correctly.
In the tennis tournament, Russian girls showed an outstanding result.
Elena Dementieva, Dinara Safina and Vera Zvonareva completely occupied the podium, winning all the medals of the women's singles tournament and at the same time bringing the Russian national team victory in the overall medal standings of the tennis tournament. This is the first time since 1908 when the entire podium was occupied by representatives of one country (100 years before the Russians, the British managed it).
