Tennis player Novak Djokovic continued his quest for an elusive first gold medal at the Paris Olympics on Monday when he overcame long-time competitor Rafael Nadal 6-1, 6-4 in the latest chapter of the pair’s historic rivalry, Apasport.az reports citing ATP Tour.
As they had done in their most recent meeting in 2022, Djokovic and Nadal were competing on Philippe-Chatrier in front of a raucous crowd. Spaniard Nadal earned a four-set quarter-final victory on that occasion at Roland Garros but was not able to inflict the same outcome on Djokovic, who reached the Wimbledon final earlier this month.
