Djokovic advances to third round after a 6-1 6-4 victory
Nadal's bid for a record-extending 15th French Open title comes to an end
In a highly anticipated match-up, tennis stars Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal faced off in the second round of the men's singles tournament at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Djokovic, who is seeking his first Olympic gold medal in singles, came out strong and dominated the first set, winning 6-1. Nadal, despite battling an injury, put up a valiant fight in the second set but ultimately fell short, losing 6-4.
With the victory, Djokovic advances to the third round where he will face a yet-to-be-determined opponent. Nadal's loss marks the end of his bid for a record-extending 15th French Open title and the first time he has failed to reach the third round of the Olympic tennis tournament since 2004.
Djokovic's victory extends his winning streak against Nadal to six matches. He will now be the favorite to win the gold medal, but will face stiff competition from other top players such as Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev, and Alexander Zverev.
