Olympics, tennis draw: Musetti risks, possible Djokovic-Nadal
Orphaned by Jannik Sinner, the men’s Olympic tennis tournament, kicking off in a few days in Paris, has taken shape. Making headlines è the possible second round match between arch-rivals Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, possibly both in the last Olympics of their glorious careers. The Manacor outfielder will first have to face Fucsovics in the first round, while the Serb will face Ebden.
Carlos Alcaraz, the number one favorite for the gold medal after Jannik Sinner's enforced absence, will make his Olympic debut against Habib: potentially in the semifinals he could find Daniil Medvedev again.
Watch out for our Lorenzo Musetti, who will have a very complicated debut against host Monfils, and in the round of 16 he could face Taylor Fritz.
The other Italians: Arnaldi è has been paired with another Frenchman, Fils, Darderi will have to contend with the U.S. Paul and Vavassori, Sinner’s replacement, with the Spaniard Pedro Martinez.
