The draws have been announced for the 2024 Paris Olympics tennis events as the seven British players found out who they will face at Roland Garros between 27 July – 4 August.

On her debut for Team GB, Katie Boulter is set to play world No.70 Anna Karolina Schmiedlova in her first match in Paris. Schmiedlova made the fourth round at Roland Garros in 2023 and won her last WTA title on clay in Bogata back in 2018.

In the men’s singles, British No.1 Jack Draper will play 2016 bronze medallist Kei Nishikori in his first appearance at the Olympics.

Cam Norrie faces Dutch star and world No.27 Tallon Griekspoor in round one with a potential clash with French Open and Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz in the second round, while Dan Evans is set to start against Tunisia’s Moez Echargui.  

In his last event before retirement Andy Murray and Evans will face Japanese pair Taro Daniel and Nishikori in the first round.

Murray announced earlier this morning that he would be withdrawing from the singles draw in a bid for his first men’s doubles medal at the Olympics.

The two-time singles gold medallist said: “I’ve taken the decision to withdraw from the singles to concentrate on the doubles with Dan.

“Our practice has been great and we’re playing well together. Really looking forward to getting started and representing GB one more time.”

Elsewhere, fifth seeds Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski take on Czech team Tomas Mahac and Adam Pavlasek in the opening round.

Salisbury and Skupski have competed together numerous times on both the ATP Tour and at the Davis Cup, but this will be their first time playing together at an Olympic Games.

In the women’s doubles, British duo Heather Watson and Boulter will play three-time singles Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber and her partner Laura Siegemund.

Salisbury and Watson will face a tough challenge in the opening round of the mixed doubles as they go head-to-head with former singles world No.6 Felix Auger-Alliasime and two-time mixed doubles Grand Slam title winner Gabriela Dabrowski.
