Djokovic beat Australian Matthew Ebden 6-0, 6-1 in the first round. The game lasted 53 minutes. Ebden replaced Briton Andy Murray in the singles. The Australian specializes in doubles, where he is considered the number one racket, and has not played singles for several years.

Djokovic admitted that he does not understand how a doubles specialist was taken as a replacement for the singles tournament.

"I really don't understand the rules," the Serb told reporters after his victory. "It's illogical to me that someone withdraws from a singles tournament and you replace them with a doubles player."

"I don't think it's a good image for the sport, to be honest," the tennis player added. "There are a lot of singles players who have had enough time to come here and could have been called up."

Djokovic expressed hope that the rules will change.

"I hope that the ITF (International Tennis Federation. — RBC Sport) and the IOC will change the substitution rule, because Matt has had a hard time. He hasn't played singles for two years," the Serb noted.

12:00. The second consecutive training swim for triathletes at the 2024 Olympics has been cancelled due to poor water quality in the Seine, AFP reports.

The first training swim was supposed to take place on the morning of July 28, the second on the 29th.

The organizing committee said the water quality had deteriorated due to heavy rainfall. The triathlon competitions are scheduled for July 30 and 31.

Earlier in July, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo took a dip in the Seine to prove that the capital's river was safe to host competitions.

11:30 . Slovakian Deputy Prime Minister Tomas Taraba, who was supposed to represent the country at the closing of the Olympics in Paris, refused to go to the event because of the opening ceremony. He wrote about this on his FACEBOOK page (banned in Russia; belongs to the Meta corporation, recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation).

"These Olympics will always be a disgusting symbol to the normal world of a perverted decadence that has abused the beauty of sport and turned it into progressive political theater. That is why I have decided not to participate in the closing ceremony," Taraba wrote.

11:00 What are the chances of Russian tennis players winning on July 29?

Diana Schneider will face Wang Xu (China). Schneider is ranked 24th, Wang Xu is ranked 52nd. Bookmakers consider Schneider an undisputed favorite and give her a 1.35 coefficient for her victory, while the Chinese woman has a 3.25 coefficient.

Roman Safiullin will play against Argentinean Thomas Etcheverry. The Russian is ranked 67th, his opponent is ranked 35th. Bookmakers consider Safiullin an underdog in this match - 2.6. The odds for Etcheverry to win are 2.6.

The Russian duo Ekaterina Alexandrova / Elena Vesnina will face Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova (Czech Republic). Doubles and mixed doubles are the most unpredictable at the Olympics. Both pairs are unseeded, and bookmakers assess their chances equally.

The mixed doubles will feature a match between Daniil Medvedev / Mirra Andreeva — Sara Errani / Andrea Vavassori (Italy). The Russians are not seeded, their opponent is number five. Bookmakers consider the Italian pair to be the clear favorites of the match — 1.5. They give a coefficient of 2.4 for Medvedev and Andreeva.
