Rafael Nadal takes on his old foe Novak Djokovic today in Paris.
Two of the greatest players in tennis history - Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic - will meet today in the second round of the Men's Singles at Paris 2024.
The pair have amassed 46 Grand Slam titles between them, 24 for Djokovic and 22 for Nadal, yet the Spaniard hasn't added to that tally since the 2022 French Open.
However, the fact that the Paris Olympics is being played at the scene of his record 14 French Open titles provides hope that he can defy the odds against Djokovic.

Nadal vs Djokovic Prediction
Owing largely to Nadal's recent injury record, the pair haven't played against each other since the quarter-final of the 2022 French Open, won by Nadal in four sets.
You have to go back to the final of the same tournament in 2020 for the last time this match-up was decided in straight sets. Nadal has won three of the last four so it would be no surprise if he was to take Djokovic to the wire in Paris. Click here to back over 2.5 sets at 11/5 on Unibet.
