Looks like Matt Ebden got the Murray slot; Ebden is unranked in singles. And he has drawn Djokovic in round one; which means Andy would have got Djoko in round one. Probably best he pulled out although that would have been an ideal match up to finish on!

Pessimist: beating Mr Djokovic would probably have taken Mr Murray (A) through to play Mr Nadal - that would have been a fitting run to end on!
Re big names pulling out, in the womens singles first it was Rybakina followed by her replacement Saville. She was replaced by Sara Errani who joins that small list of players who have played singles in 5 Olympics.
