DOUBLES: After missing his opportunity to do so at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London due to injury, Rafael Nadal has been tabbed to serve as flag bearer for Spain at this year's Games in Rio de Janeiro. Garbine Muguriza, his potential mixed-doubles partner in the Olympics, recently regaled the choice of Rafa for the ceremonial duty, even as he partnered with Martina Hingis for a charity doubles match in Madrid.
