After a very intense start to the week, full of training and media attention, Rafa Nadal has canceled the two training sessions he had scheduled for this Thursdayaccording to the Spanish Olympic Committee, which did not disclose the reason.
The winner of twenty-two Grand Slams, individual Olympic champion in Beijing 2008 and doubles champion with Marc López in Rio 2016, has two training sessions planned at the facilities of Roland Garros, at 1:00 pm in one in the outdoor courts and another in continuation to the central court, the Philippe Chatrier, both with the German Alexander Zverev. In the end, he will do nothing.
All this, after the draw for the draws for the Olympic tournament, where Nadal will debut against Hungarian Marton Fucsovics (No. 83 ATP) and Djokovic against Australian Matthew Ebden (since 2022 he has played only in doubles) and if both win their debut, they will meet in a historic duel in the second round.
Between the two they have 17 Roland Garros titles and 208 matches won on these courts, 14 (112) for Rafa and 3 (96) for Nole.. If the Mallorcan gets past the Serbian, his potential path to a new Olympic medal will be paved with Arthur Fils (20), Stefanos Tsitsipas (12), Alexander Zverev (4) or Taylor Fritz (11) and Carlos Alcaraz ( 3).
