MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Garbine Muguruza's rapid rise up the world rankings gives Spain hope of adding to its solitary tennis gold medal at the 2016 Olympics, but the 22-year-old is cagey about a dream mixed doubles pairing with Rafa Nadal in Rio.

The world number three is set to play in the singles at Rio and will team up with Carla Suarez Navarro in the doubles, but is hesitant to commit to the mixed doubles due to concerns about the hectic schedule.
