Paris, Jul 28 (AP) Rafael Nadal's manager says the 22-time Grand Slam champion will play his first-round match in singles at the Paris Olympics on Sunday.

The 38-year-old Nadal has dealt with a series of injuries the past two seasons. His right thigh was taped during his first-round doubles victory with Carlos Alcaraz for Spain on Saturday night. Nadal said after that match he hadn't decided whether to compete in singles.
