The ITF today announced the draw for the Olympic mixed doubles competition that is scheduled to start on Wednesday, August 10.
Spanish duo Rafael Nadal and Garbine Muguruza, who are third seeds, will pair up to play Radek Stepanek and Lucie Hrdecka in the first round.
Top seeds are Caroline Garcia and Nicolas Mahut from France.
Competition involves 16 teams, meaning only two victories are needed to reach the medal round.

Vamos Rafa & Garbi!
HAVE FUN U 2 L U ALL
WHAT HAPPENED IN MIXED????? THERE WAS A WALKOVER….IS RAFA OK?????
The news is that they have withdrawn (understandably)
I wonder if it would have been a better idea for Marc to play the mixed with Gabine? Marc is on fire right now and full of beans. Rafa needs his energy – it may be one match too far.
That’s a good pair, Rafa an Muguruza! They going to do beautifull!
go go go Rafa – love you – what time on August 10th?
The best of luck and VAMOS Rafa & Garbi 🍀🎾😊😘
Good luck and Vamos Rafa!!!
Rafa you are a god
Wouldn’t it be great if Rafa came home with all three Olympic medals no matter what their colour. Only time will tell

What complete draw? No mixed doubles on that link provided, just singles and doubles for men and women. That Rio site is as slow as a sloth when updating.
RAFA ROCKS
