Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic and Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal could play against each other in the second round of the Olympic tournament in Paris.

With today's draw, it was decided that Djokovic will play against the Australian Ebden in the first round, and Nadal against the Hungarian Fučovič. If they jump over the first hurdle, then in the second round, in a direct duel, they will decide on the passenger to the next round.

If he advances to the third round, Djokovic's rival could be Artur Fils, while the opponent in the quarterfinals could be the eighth seed - Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Djokovic's potential rival in the semi-finals could be current Olympic champion Aleksandar Zverev, who defeated the Serbian tennis player in the semi-finals of the Olympic Games three years ago in Tokyo.

Djokovic is the first seed in the draw, while the second seed is the Spaniard Karlos Alkaras.

Alkaras will start against the Lebanese Habib. His potential rival in the quarter-finals is De Minor, and in the semi-finals Danil Medvedev.
