On Day 3 (Monday, July 30), Australia, who was considered the second best women's basketball team after the United States, shockingly lost to France, 74-70. However, it is unclear whether there is any "atheist effect" here, since both countries are increasingly atheistic. Great Britain lost to Russia in women's handball, 37-16, a blowout. France tied Spain, 18-18.
In men's volleyball, Australia and Great Britain each lost their first game in straight sets. On the women's side, Britain also lost in straight sets, while the Aussies failed to qualify.

|Murray won his first match against Stanislas Wawrinka in straight sets and will face either Jarkko Nieminen or Somdev Devvarman in the Round of 32. Djokovic dropped the first set of his opening match to Fabio Fogini of Italy after a lengthy rain delay. However, he came back to win in 3 sets. The two will face off in the semifinals if they get that far.
