    Paris Olympics: Djokovic Triumphs Over Nadal In Straight Sets

    By IANS News July 30, 2024 • 10:22 AM View: 777
    Novak Djokovic: Novak Djokovic continued his quest for an elusive first gold medal on Monday, overcoming long-time rival Rafael Nadal 6-1, 6-4 in the men's singles event of Paris Olympics at the Philippe-Chatrier court.

    Their previous meeting on this court had seen Nadal triumph in a four-set quarterfinal win in 2022, but this time, it was Djokovic who dominated. The Serbian, currently ranked No.2 controlled the match from the start, taking the first set 6-1 and racing to a 4-0 lead in the second.

    However, Nadal, who had only lost four times on Court Philippe-Chatrier before Monday, demonstrated his trademark resilience. The 38-year-old Spaniard began landing his heavy topspin forehands, breaking Djokovic's serve and levelling the set at 4-4 in dramatic style.
