TOKYO (Reuters) - Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas advanced to the third round of the men's singles tennis at the Olympic Games while Japanese medal hopeful Naomi Osaka was eliminated from the women's event following a surprise defeat on Centre Court on Tuesday.

The roof of the main show court at Ariake Tennis Park was closed to allow the day's marquee matches to go ahead, although play was briefly suspended elsewhere during a morning downpour in Tokyo.
