Novak Djokovic wants to have the ‘Last Dance’ against Rafael Nadal in Paris Olympics

Number two-seeded Novak Djokovic intends to square off with Rafael Nadal, his longtime opponent, in the second round of the tennis competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. He aroused curiosity by suggesting that the two might run into one other on the clay court and that this might be their final tango together.

"Yeah, I mean, obviously he (Nadal) hasn't played much and his ranking drops. So, you know, there's always going to be that possibility of meeting him in early rounds and there we go, you know, it's going to be a spectacle. Definitely, if we get to meet, expect some fireworks on the court. Like the good old times. I hope we get to meet because there will probably be one last dance for both of us.

All the respect to Rafa, of course, he's just, he was injured and everything, but he's always the king of clay and what he's done here in Roland Garros is unprecedented. So I can't wait to step on the court with everyone is so excited for it," Nadal said while speaking to Access Hollywood in an interview.
