After the boost that Thursday brought to Spain’s participation in the Games, Friday brings with it several key duels, especially in team sports such as football and basketball. The men’s football team will face Japan in the quarter-finals, while Scariolo’s team has a key duel against Canada in basketball in which anything could happen: they could end up as leaders, second, go through as one of the best third-place teams or finish last. Everything will depend on their result and the Australia-Greece match.
Hopes will also be pinned on tennis, with Carlos Alcaraz taking on Canadian Aliassime in the semi-finals of the singles draw; and on sailing, where Diego Botin and Florian Trittel will seek to lift the medal that eluded them on Thursday due to the suspension of the event due to lack of wind.
