Spanish tennis great Rafael Nadal faced a surprising defeat in the first round of the French Open, marking his first match at Roland Garros in two years. The 37-year-old, known as the King of Clay, has been struggling with injuries and entered the tournament as an unseeded player for the first time in his career.
Nadal's opponent, world number four Alexander Zverev from Germany, managed to secure victory in straight sets. Despite the significant win, Zverev showed respect for Nadal by refraining from celebrating excessively.
