The former World No.1 led the third set with a score of 4-2 before a late scare saw Fucsovic try to sneak back into the match. However, the undisputed ‘King of Clay’ kept his composure to seal the set 6-4 and advanced to the next round.
Paris Olympic Games: Tennis icon Rafael Nadal defeated Hungarian opponent Morton Fucsovics 2-1 (6-1, 4-6, 6-4) in the opening round of the 2024 Olympics.
