Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal: 2024 Paris Olympics – Preview & Prediction
After Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal won their opening matches at the 2024 Paris Olympics, they will face each other in the second round of the tournament.
The 60th time the two greats will meet will happen at the Olympic Games in Paris. It’s a wonderfully fitting place for what might just be the final time they will play each other.
We don’t know if it’s their last match, and it doesn’t really matter, but this will certainly be one spectacular match. It comes after Djokovic easily won his first-round match and Nadal won his first-round match in three sets.
It wasn’t as easy for the Spaniard, but he did it, and that’s all he needed. The form is obviously on the side of the 24-time major winner, who has been playing lots of tennis this year.
His season didn’t start well, but in recent weeks, the 37-year-old has certainly looked great on the court. Nadal hasn’t looked as good, but he, too, has looked better compared to the level he has shown before.
Another important tidbit to note is that this match is played in Paris on the Roland Garros courts. They’ve faced each other a few times in the French capital, and obviously, Nadal has generally had the upper hand.
If there is one court where the 14-time French Open champion can still beat his rival Djokovic, it’s the Court Philippe-Chatrier Is it likely? Not really, but it can certainly happen if adrenaline carries him towards it.
