Alexander Zverev is preparing himself to confront a formidable challenge in the form of "peak Rafael Nadal" at the French Open on Monday. The German, currently ranked fourth in the world, finds himself in a position where he could potentially bring an end to the illustrious Roland Garros career of the 14-time champion.
Zverev has been dealt a draw for the first round that many would consider unfavorable, as he gears up to face Nadal, a 22-time Grand Slam title winner, who is set to bid farewell to the tournament after this edition.
