PARIS, May 30 — Novak Djokovic renews his epic 16-year rivalry with Rafael Nadal at the French Open tomorrow with a semi-final spot at stake and where victory could end the 13-time champion’s Roland Garros career.

In the immediate aftermath of that victory, Nadal admitted that not only was this year’s French Open at stake for him but possibly his entire playing future. “I went through a tough process again with my foot, so I don’t know what can happen in the near future.” Overall, Djokovic leads Nadal 30-28 since their first career meeting at the 2006 French Open.Djokovic, however, came out on top in the semi-finals at Roland Garros in 2021 on his way to a second title.That defeat took a physical toll on Nadal who then skipped Wimbledon, the Olympics and the US Open.

“I’m glad that I didn’t spend too much time on the court up to the quarter-finals, knowing that playing him in Roland Garros is always a physical battle. It’s a huge challenge and probably the biggest one that you can have here.”He boasts a 2022 claycourt record of 20 wins against just one loss. For the year, he is 32-3.
