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.

22:24 CET - Our penultimate singles game of the day has come to an end with Alexei Popyrin (24) through to the next round after defeating Chilean flag-bearer Nicolas Jarry (28) 6-3, 7-6.

21:48 CET - Former Olympic Games quarter-finalist Caroline Wozniacki (34) has made her way into the second round, but needed a comeback against Egypt's Mayar Sherif (28) 2-6, 7-5, 6-1.

In the men's draw, it's been a good night for the Germans with both Maximilian Marterer (29) and Alex Zverev (27) into the next round.

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.

20:15 CET - After dazzling in the doubles yesterday, Coco Gauff (20) has begun her singles campaign with a dominant 6-3, 6-0 victory over Ajla Tomljanovic (31).

But, it's not to be for former French Open finalist Karolina Muchova (27), who has been beaten by Canada's Leylah Fernandez (21) in three sets 6-1, 4-6, 6-2.

18:43 CET - Elsewhere, Roman Safiullin (26) has stunned 15th seed Alejandro Tabilo (27) 6-4, 6-4 to progress.

18:04 CET - Elsewhere on the men's side, Tommy Paul (27) has secured his place in the next round with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Italy's Luciano Darderi (22)

18:00 CET - Rafael Nadal (38) may have dropped his level at times but he rolled back the years for the most part in a 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 victory over Hungary's Marton Fucsovics (32) to set up a blockbuster tie with old foe Novak Djokovic (37) in the second round!

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.

16:40 CET - There would be no such upset for fifth seed Jessica Pegula (30) who stormed to a 6-3, 6-4 win over Switzerland's Viktorija Golubic (31).

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.
