Nadal to Face Djokovic at Paris Olympics

Rafael Nadal's victory over Marton Fucsovics in the first round of the 2024 Paris Olympics sets up a highly anticipated clash with Novak Djokovic, marking their 60th meeting. Nadal, who won the match with a score of 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, initially faced uncertainty about his participation due to a thigh injury but managed to secure the win on Court Philippe-Chatrier. Djokovic, meanwhile, easily defeated Matthew Ebden and is also aiming for his first Olympic gold medal. Both players have previously won medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, with Nadal taking gold and Djokovic bronze. The upcoming match is expected to be a thrilling encounter, especially as Nadal is known for his prowess at Roland-Garros, where he has won 14 titles. With several players withdrawing from the tournament due to injuries, including Cameron Norrie, the stakes are higher than ever for both Nadal and Djokovic.
