Upcoming tennis tournament XXXI summer Olympic Games will be the fifteenth in the history of the Olympics and the eighth in recent history tennis - after tennis returned to the number one in 1988 Olympic sports sports.

Five sets of medals will be played at the Olympic tournament: in singles and doubles in men and women, as well as in the category of mixed doubles. The tournament will be held under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee, with the support of the ITF. Participants in the tennis tournament as part of the 2016 Olympics will not receive points in ATP rankings and WTA.

All matches in the tournament will be played in a three-set format. The exception is the final of the men's singles tournament, which will be held in a five-set format. The decisive set in all categories, except for "mixed", will be held without a tie-break. In case of equality in the "mixed" games, the winner will be determined by the "championship tie-break" system.

In men's singles, Serb Novak Djokovic was the first seed. The world ranking leader starts with a match against Argentinean Juan Martin Del Potro, whom he lost in the bronze medal match at the 2012 Olympics in London. Already in the second round, Novak can meet with the Portuguese Joao Sousa, whose starting opponent was the Dutchman Robin Haase. The most likely opponent of Djokovic in the third round match is American Jack Sock, who has established himself in the status of a Top 30 player.

In the duel for reaching the semi-finals 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 on hard-surface competitions. The Luxembourger Gilles Muller is quite capable of preventing the first, while the Russian Andrey Kuznetsov will try to block the second at the start.

Also in the upper part of the grid is the Spaniard Rafael Nadal, who will start the performance with the Argentinean Federico Delbonis. Really serious competition to Raphael in the fight for reaching the 1/4 finals of the competition can only be imposed by the Frenchman Gilles Simon, whose results have not been encouraging lately. Playing against Rafael is the fact that he has not yet fully recovered from an injury to his left wrist. Obviously, if health allows Nadal to perform at full strength, then the Spaniard will most likely fight for a medal of the highest standard.

In the third quarter, the Japanese Kei Nishikori, who reached the final of the Masters in Toronto last week, will begin his tournament journey. In the first round, he will meet with the Spaniard Albert Ramos, who had an excellent part of the season on the dirt. Then Kei, most likely, will confront the Lithuanian Richardas Berankis. The problems for the Japanese may start at the 1/8 final stage, where he can play with the German Philipp 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, who won the gold of 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. Murray can meet at least some dangerous opponent only in the third round, and even then the most likely contender for this - the Frenchman Benoit Per - is far from being in optimal shape.

Only in the 1/4 finals, the Briton, whose entry into this stage is beyond doubt, may face some difficulties, although, in all honesty, neither the Spaniard David Ferrer nor the American Steve Johnson should become a serious obstacle for Murray.

The main character in the upper part will be the leader of the world ranking table, American Serena Williams. The current champion of the Games will begin her tournament journey with a duel with Australian Daria Gavrilova.

In the second round, Serena may face Frenchwoman Alize Kornet, whose starting opponent will be Sweden's Johanna Larsson. In the match for reaching the quarterfinals, Williams Jr. is likely to fight with Ukrainian Elina Svitolina. In the 1/4 final match, Serena's opponent could be Italian Roberta Vinci or Czech Petra Kvitova.

In the second quarter of the upper half tournament bracket Spaniard Garbin Muguruza and American Venus Williams will start the performance. However, Swiss Timea Bachinsky and Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova are quite capable of preventing them from meeting in the quarterfinals.

Muguruza will start the performance with a duel with Serbian Jelena Jankovic. Already in the second round, the Spaniard can fight with the Romanian Irina-Camellia 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 Safarzhova, and Venus' rival in the third round match, perhaps, will be Bachinski.

The third quarter of the tournament grid turned out to be no less interesting. Here, the fourth racket of the tournament, Polish Agnieszka Radwańska, will start his performance. In the first round, Agnieszka will face China's Zheng Saisai. The first truly dangerous opponent of the polka can be Russian Daria Kasatkina, with whom Radwańska can fight in the second round.

Agnieszka will most likely fight Czech Barbora Strykova for reaching the quarterfinals of the competition. In the 1/4 final match, the polka can play with the American Madison Keys, who became the vice-champion of the competition in Montreal a week ago.

In the second quarter of the lower half of the tournament bracket, the German Angelique Kerber will start the competition, having received the second number during sowing. The winner of the Australian Open at the start of the tournament will meet Colombian Mariana Duque Marina. Despite the fact that Angelique could not reach the final of the tournament in Montreal, she looks like the favorite of her part of the bracket.

In the second round of the tournament, the German will play with the winner of the meeting between Canadian Eugenie Bouchard and American Sloane Stephens, and then, apparently, she will face Australian Samantha Stosur, who received the 13th seed when she was seeded.

In the upper part of this quarter, the focus will be on the Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova. In the first round, Svetlana will face the Chinese Jiang Wang. Then either the Romanian Monica Niculescu or Veronica Cepede-Roig from Paraguay will stand in the way of Kuznetsova. In the third round, the Russian woman can meet with the British Johanna Konta.

11th century beginnings

The earliest recognizable relative to tennis, as we know it, was "jeu de paume", played in 11th century France. Played in a monastery courtyard, the game used the walls and sloping roofs as part of the court and the palm of the hand to hit the ball.

Tennis overtakes croquet

By the late 19th century, the popularity of lawn tennis had overtaken croquet in England. For this reason, the All England Croquet Club embraced the sport and designated certain croquet lawns to be used for tennis. It was this natural supply of venues combined with the already existing framework for a racquet game that resulted in the birth of the modern game in England.

An international sport

In 1913, lawn tennis was becoming increasingly popular worldwide. Therefore it seemed natural that the existing National Tennis Associations should join forces to ensure the game was uniformly structured. An international conference was held between 12 nations in Paris and the International Lawn Tennis Federation (ILTF) was created.

professional dilemma

Tennis has a long Olympic history but withdrew from the program after 1924. It did not return as a medal sport until 1988. Professionals are now welcome to compete, and the Olympic competition includes men "s and women" s singles and men "s and women" s doubles.
