Three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber has said she is going to retire from tennis after the Olympic Games in Paris.

The 36-year-old German is a former world number one and claimed the Australian Open and US Open titles in 2016 before winning Wimbledon two years later.

She competed at the 2016 Olympics in Rio when she won silver in the women's singles, having been beaten by Puerto Rican Monica Puig in the final, and did not compete at the Tokyo Games.

"The finish line," said Kerber on social media. "Before the Olympics begin, I can already say that I will never forget Paris 2024, because it will be my last professional tournament as a tennis player.

"And whereas this might actually be the right decision, it will never feel that way. Simply because I love the sport with all my heart and I'm thankful for the memories and opportunities it has given me."

Kerber returned to the WTA Tour earlier this season after being on maternity leave.

She added: "The Olympics I've participated in so far have been more than just competitions as they represent different chapters of my life as a tennis player: the climb, the peak and now, the finish line."

French Open venue Roland Garros hosts the Olympic tennis tournament from 27 July to 4 August.

The draw has thrown up the prospect of Rafael Nadal facing long-time rival Novak Djokovic if they win their first-round ties.

Like Andy Murray, Nadal is also playing in his final Olympics and it is still unclear how long his career will continue.

The 38-year-old Spaniard has been struggling with injury over the past couple of years but is fit enough to play in both the singles and doubles in Paris.

Nadal, who has won a record 14 men's singles titles at Roland Garros, starts against Hungary's Marton Fucsovics - with the carrot of potentially continuing his enduring rivalry against Serbia's Djokovic.

Top seed Djokovic, 37, plays Australia's Matt Ebden in his opening match.

British number one Jack Draper faces 2016 bronze medallist Nishikori, with Cameron Norrie against Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands knowing he could face French Open and Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz in the second round.

Evans plays Tunisia's Moez Echargui, while Katie Boulter - Britain's sole representative in the women's singles - starts against Slovakia's Anna Karolina Schmiedlova.

Boulter will team up with Heather Watson in the women's doubles. They have been drawn against Germany's Angelique Kerber - the 2016 silver medallist in the singles, who has announced she will retire after these Games - and Laura Siegemund.

Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski, who are seeded fifth in the men's doubles, face Czech pair Tomas Machac and Adam Pavlasek.

Andy Murray has withdrawn from the singles competition in the Olympics but will play doubles in Paris in the final event of his career.

The three-time Grand Slam champion has confirmed he will retire at the end of his fifth Games.

It means the final singles match of his career was against Jordan Thompson in the second round at Queen's in June, when he was forced to retire with a back injury.

That injury also led him to withdraw from the singles at Wimbledon, but he did play a final doubles match at the venue where he won two of his three major titles.

Murray will play alongside Dan Evans in Paris and the pair have been drawn against Japan's Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori in the first round.

"The Olympics has been incredibly special for me and there have been some amazing memories on the court – particularly in London," Murray said at Thursday's draw.

"I'm happy I get to do this one more time. It's unfortunate [not playing in singles] - I trained to get ready to play both, but I'm getting a bit older now so it gets harder to recover from injuries. I ran out of time."

Simone Biles is back at an Olympic arena!

The American gymnast and her team-mates were at the Bercy Arena for their official podium training session, their one chance to get a feel for the apparatus in the venue before they compete in qualification on Sunday.

With global photographers’ cameras trained on her every move, Biles started off back on the apparatus where she left off at the last Olympics – on the balance beam.

In Tokyo it was the only apparatus final she competed in (taking bronze) after pulling out of others with the ‘twisties’ – a mental block where a gymnast’s body and mind are out of sync.

Many people thought they might have seen her at a Games for the final time – but she’s in Paris and looking to add to her seven Olympic medals.
