Drawing Alexander Zverev first up at Roland-Garros in the French Open 2024 was not the kindest way to bid farewell to the King of Clay – but the Olympics has thrown up a terrific encore.

Rafael Nadal triumphed over Marton Fucsovics in the first round of the Paris 2024 tennis competition, and his reward is a box-office showdown against Novak Djokovic.

Nadal and Djokovic have not faced one another since 2022. Their last four meetings have all come on clay – and Nadal emerged victorious in three of them.

Their overall head-to-head record stands at 30 victories to Djokovic, 29 to Nadal, ahead of what could be their last ever encounter.

Fans across the world will be delighted to see the pair collide one more time, especially given Nadal has recorded a victory at Roland-Garros this week and will provide stern competition for Djokovic.
