Novak Djokovic is on the brink of a significant milestone in his pursuit of a first Olympic gold medal after dominating Rafael Nadal in the first set with a commanding 6-1 victory.
Throughout the match, Djokovic has displayed a level of dominance that has put him in a favorable position. Despite Nadal showing signs of improvement in the latter stages of the opening set, he faces an uphill battle and will rely on the support of the enthusiastic Parisian crowd to mount a comeback.
The scorching heat in Paris could also play a role in the outcome of the match, with temperatures soaring into the mid-80s as the City of Light experiences its initial heatwave of the summer. The absence of clouds above Roland Garros paints a picturesque scene, but the intense sunlight may pose a challenge for both players.
As the players take a break between sets, they seek refuge under umbrellas to shield themselves from the sun's rays and conserve energy for the remainder of the match.
