Official list on July 4
When the International Tennis Federation releases the official entry list on July 4, Nagal—who was originally listed as an alternate—is expected to make the cut because more and more players with higher rankings are withdrawing.
Tennis at the Paris Olympics will take place from July 27 to August 4 at Roland Garros, home of the French Open.
