Tennis order of play, Tokyo Olympics 2020: What time does Andy Murray play and who will he face?
Andy Murray faces a tough start to the defence of his Olympic tennis title after being drawn against ninth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Murray is the only tennis player to win back-to-back singles gold medals having triumphed in London and Rio but his hopes of making it three in a row have been severely hampered by physical struggles.
He won consecutive matches at a grand slam for the first time in four years at Wimbledon before being comprehensively beaten by Auger-Aliassime's Canadian counterpart Denis Shapovalov and then giving a downbeat assessment of his career prospects.
Twenty-year-old Auger-Aliassime, meanwhile, headed to Tokyo on a high after a strong grass court season that culminated in a first grand slam quarter-final appearance at SW19, while he easily defeated Murray at the US Open last year.
Debutant Liam Broady, a very late entrant to the field after numerous withdrawals, will take on Argentina's Francisco Cerundolo while Heather Watson opens against Anna-Lena Friedsam of Germany.
Plenty of star names have remained at home, including Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams, but Wimbledon champions Novak Djokovic and Ashleigh Barty are both in Japan along with Naomi Osaka, who will play her first match since withdrawing from the French Open.
Djokovic, who is bidding to become the first man in history to win a Golden Slam of all four grand slam titles and Olympic singles gold in the same year, will take on Bolivia's Hugo Dellien first up, with Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev the other top-four seeds.
Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski will take on Argentinian duo Andres Molteni and Horacio Zeballos.

When does the Olympic tennis begin?

When does Andy Murray play?
Murray's first-round singles match against Felix Auger-Aliassime does not take place on the opening day and is likely to be on Sunday July 25.
He will, however, be in action with Joe Salisbury in the men's doubles. That match is second on Court 5, so will likely begin very roughly around 5-6am BST depending on how long the court's first match lasts.
They take on Nicholas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert of France in their first round match.
How many Olympic tennis events are there?
Five: the women's singles, men's singles, women's doubles, men's doubles and mixed doubles.
What is the format?
It is a straight knockout format with both singles draws consisting of 64 players. The men's and women's doubles competitions are five rounds, from a total of 32 entrants. The mixed doubles have a total of 16 entrants.
All singles matches are the best of three sets with a traditional first to seven tie-break in every set, including a deciding third set. In doubles, instead of a third set it will be a match tiebreak (the first to 10).
