TENNIS GLADIATORS GET SET FOR FRENCH OPEN
Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer are all in the same half of the draw at this year's French Open
Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer are all in the same half of the draw at this year's French Open, creating the possibility of some mouth-watering matches before the final.
Defending champion Nadal and world No. 1 Djokovic cannot meet in the final as they did last year -- Nadal came out on top in straight sets -- with the pair projected to face off in the semifinals instead.
However, Djokovic has the small matter of potentially having to overcome 20-time grand slam champion Federer to get there, with the Swiss potentially facing Djokovic in the quarterfinals.
Australian Alexei Popyrin, Djokovic will face American Tennys Sandgren and the eighth seeded Federer will face a qualifier.
Federer's French Open preparations were dented by a surprise defeat to Pablo Andújar at the Geneva Open last week, in what was Federer's first match since he made his injury comeback in March.
