Nadal/Djokovic: Towards a reunion in the 2nd round of the Olympic Games?

That's the main conclusion to be drawn from this draw.

Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal could meet on the Paris clay courts in the second round of the Olympic Games. An unhoped-for reunion between two champions with historic records.

This duel, which would be the 60th act in their legendary rivalry, could, if it comes to fruition, thrill the entire world.

To ensure that all sports fans can enjoy another tug-of-war between the two men, however, both will have to get past the first round.

For Djokovic, it's all about mastering Matthew Ebden, an opponent who doesn't seem likely to get in his way. Nadal, on the other hand, will have to escape the clutches of Marton Fuscovics. A much more dangerous player, he is capable, at times, of proposing sequences of a very high level.

One thing's for sure: the whole world, and perhaps even Edben and Fuscovics, are hoping to see Djokovic and Nadal go head-to-head one last time in Paris.

A clash that would do everything to raise the profile of the Olympic tennis tournament, at least for the duration of one match.
