Alcaraz and Djokovic are the leading male contenders after world number one Sinner withdrew earlier this week having been being diagnosed with tonsillitis, while Nadal will be aiming for a third gold overall and playing on his favourite surface.
The Olympic tennis tournament takes place on the clay of Roland-Garros, where Nadal has won the French Open 14 times, most recently in 2022.
Back in June, Alcaraz and Swiatek won the Grand Slam singles titles here, with the former set to partner Nadal for Spain in the men’s doubles.
Nadal, who also won doubles gold at Rio 2016, and Alcaraz will face Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni of Argentina in the opening round.
Murray, who won singles gold at London 2012 and Rio 2016, will team up with Evans for Great Britain and take on Japan’s Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori in the men’s doubles opening round.
Meanwhile, Kerber, a three-time Grand Slam winner, also confirmed this Olympics will be her last event before retiring. The German, 36, won silver at Rio 2016.
The first round of the men’s and women’s singles, as well as men’s and women’s doubles, starts on Saturday.
The mixed doubles begin on Monday, with the full tennis schedule available here.
