Defending champion Novak Djokovic and 13-time winnner Rafael Nadal are on a quarterfinal collision course at the French Open following the draw on Thursday.
World No.1 Djokovic, back on the Grand Slam scene after being deported from Melbourne ahead of the Australian Open following his decision not to have a COVID-19 vaccination, will start his campaign against Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka.
He was drawn in the toughest half of the draw with Nadal as well as in-form Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz and World No. 3 Alexander Zverev, who could clash in the last eight.
