Another battle between the two tennis icons appears to be on tap for the Paris Olympics, although it may not be the last time fans get to see the legendary duo face off.
Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal celebrated his 38th birthday last month. The 22-time Grand Slam singles winner has had some injury setbacks in recent years, which fueled the belief he would soon step away from the sport he has dominated for so long. But Nadal did his best to dispel any notion the 2024 Paris Olympics would mark the final chapter of his storied career.
Who say that's last dance?' Nadal quipped when asked if he was prepared for a possible 'last dance' with Djokovic in singles competition during the Summer Games. Nadal is scheduled to face Hungary's Marton Fucsovics in the opening round of men's singles Sunday. The Spaniard previously seemed uncertain if he would compete against Fucsovics, saying, 'I don't know if I'm going to play or not,' according to The Associated Press.
