Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic and Spaniard Rafael Nadal will play what might be their last match against each other on Monday around 13:30. This second-round clash at the Olympic Games will take place on the central court in Paris.
Today, Nadal defeated Hungarian Marton Fucsovics 2-1 (6-1, 4-6, 6-4) to secure his 60th showdown with Djokovic, who had already advanced earlier.
Interestingly, this will be their second encounter at the Olympics, with Nadal having won their semifinal match in Beijing in 2008 before going on to win gold.
Nadal secures a hard-fought victory and sets up a classic match with Djokovic at the Olympic Games.

Nadal has hinted at the possibility of retiring after the Olympics, and in his recent matches, he has shown that he is far from his former peak form.
According to bookmakers, the one-year-younger Djokovic is a strong favorite, and the organizers have scheduled this match in an ideal time slot due to the stature of both players.
The duel will begin after the match between Poland’s Iga Swiatek and France’s Diane Parry, which is expected to start at noon.
