Nadal shows flashes of his fighting spirit at 'home' court but it's not enough to stop Novak
PARIS: The long, winding queue outside Roland Garros added to the sense of growing anticipation. Some locals and a Polish bunch were there for the Iga Swiatek-Diane Parry match. But even for them that clash was a mere footnote to the main action coming up at Philippe Chartier court here on a sunny Monday afternoon. It was all about two ageing, great champions of the game - Rafael Nadal, 38 and Novak Djokovic, 37 - meeting probably for the last time on this hallowed patch of clay.
