Rafa Nadal will face Novak Djokovic at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, a true ‘gift’ between two of the greatest tennis players of all time. He champion of 22 Grand Slams and two-time Olympic medalist (golds in Beijing 2008, in singles, and in Rio de Janeiro 2016, in doubles) wanted to bypass the Balkans, champion of 24 ‘Majors’ and seeks to achieve the only thing missing from his excellent record, a Olympic gold.
surpassed Nadal in the first round a difficult challenge against Hungarian Marton Fucsovics, whom he defeated 6-1, 4-6, 6-4. Rafael Nadal is 14-time Roland Garros champion and it is about the ‘active history’ of the tournament, as well as the Games. In a season that everyone seems to indicate is his farewell, Manacorí wants to give his best version and achieve a great victory against Djokovic. The Serbian, for his part, in his Games debut surpassed Matthew Ebden (6-0, 6-1).
He received the manacorí a spectacular tribute to the Opening Ceremony of the Games, where he had the privilege of carrying the Olympic torch in front of the Eiffel Tower. Rafael Nadal came prepared for the Olympic event, which will be held in Roland Garros, where he has had amazing matches against the Serbian in the past. In addition, he competes in the doubles category with his compatriot Carlos Alcaraz.
This will be chapter number 60 of the rivalry between Nadal and Djokovic and it may be the last. At 38 years old, the Balearic tennis player has not set a date for his retirement, but he assumes that goodbye is near. About on the clay court Phillippe Chatrier will have 46 Grand Slam titles, of which 17 were achieved on the clay of the capital of Paris.
Of course, 14 for Rafael Nadal, the undisputed king of this court that now hosts the Olympic tournament, while ‘Nole’ has three titles. The Serbian wants the gold he dreamed of building his career.
