As expected by fans, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will face off in round 2 of the men's singles tennis event at the 2024 Olympics.
Nadal - a two-time Olympic gold medalist, did not miss an appointment with one of the two biggest rivals in his career after defeating Marton Fucsovics with a score of 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 in the match. Extend the exciting set on the evening of July 28 (Vietnam time).
One day earlier, Djokovic won the ticket to the next round after an easy win over Australian Matthew Ebden.
Nadal, 38 years old, and Djokovic will write the 60th page of history - and possibly the last chapter - of this "blockbuster" match in the second round of men's singles at Roland Garros.
Head-to-head statistics show a certain balance between two of the legends of men's tennis, when Djokovic won 30, Nadal won 29 in the previous 59 meetings. It has been two years since they last met, when Nadal won the quarterfinals of the French Open, also held in Paris.
These two legends have won a total of 46 Grand Slam singles titles, including 17 French Open tournaments. Nadal alone is known as the "King of Clay Court" when he has won 14 times on Philippe-Chatrier Court.
In the Olympic arena, Nadal is superior with 2 gold medals, while Djokovic only has a bronze medal. Notably, in his victory in Beijing 16 years ago, Nadal defeated Djokovic in the semi-finals.
At this time, in the state of the two players, it will not be easy to judge which player will win, although many people appreciate Djokovic 's chances .
Round 2 of the 2024 Olympic men's singles tennis event continues to have top players after winning the series of matches on the night of July 28 and early morning of July 29 such as Alexander Zverev (3), Casper Ruud (6), Stefanos Tsitsipas (8).
