Spain has several real chances of adding to the Olympic medal table this Sunday. All eyes are on the men’s singles tennis final, where Carlos Alcaraz will face Novak Djokovic for the gold medal. The last meeting between the two titans was in the Wimbledon final on 14 July this year, where the Spaniard beat the Serbian (6-2, 6-2 and 7-6). But before this duel, at 12:00, Cristina Bucsa and Sara Sorribes will compete for the bronze medal in women’s doubles, after losing in the semi-finals against the Russian pair – who in this edition of the games are competing in the Neutral Single Athletes (NSA) group -. In addition, Jon Rahm starts as leader of the classification in the last round of golf, at 09:00. Meanwhile, Carolina Marín is playing for a place in the badminton final and Enmanuel Reyes Pla in the men’s 92kg boxing final. Liliana Fernández and Paula Soria are competing in the round of 16 of beach volleyball.
