Rafael Nadal and Caroline Wozniacki included in provisional Rio 2016 Olympic entry list

Both had filed an appeal to be included and the list released by the ITF on Thursday showed that they would be making the trip to Brazil, although Nadal will have to show up for Spain’s Davis Cup Europe/Africa Group 1, second round tie in Romania from July 15-17 if he wants to make the Rio field.

Nadal, currently out with a wrist injury, could also get the green light to compete from the ITF Olympic Committee appeal.

Britain’s Andy Murray and 21-times grand slam champion Serena Williams will defend their London 2012 singles titles, while American twins Bob and Mike Bryan and Venus and Serena Williams will defend their doubles titles.

Sixty-four players will contest both the men’s and women’s singles. Thirty-two teams will contest both the men’s and women’s doubles. There will also be a mixed doubles event.
