French Open draw: Nadal and Djokovic on collision course as Raducanu lands favourable opener

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have been handed nightmare French Open draws and are set for a blockbuster meeting in the quarter-finals. Djokovic is the tournament’s top seed while Nadal is seeded fifth, and both have been drawn in the same quarter.

The world number one will participate in his first Grand Slam of the year after missing the Australian Open due to his deportation. His great rival went on to claim a record 21st major title at Melbourne Park and if the Serbian wants to draw level, he may have to overcome the great Spaniard.

The 34-year-old will begin his campaign against Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka, before setting up a potential meeting with Slovakia’s Alex Molčan in round two. A second clash could be on the cards with America's Jenson Brooksby in the third round.
