TIL Desk Sports/ Eleven-time winner Rafael Nadal and Swiss great Roger Federer are slotted in the bottom half of men’s singles and could meet in the semifinals of the upcoming French Open starting Sunday.
Defending champion Nadal, fresh from his ninth Italian Open title last weekend, will see first two rounds in the French capital against qualifiers, and a possible third-round encounter with Belgian David Goffin looms ahead as the draw for French Open took place here on Thursday.
The Spaniard can expect seventh-seeded Japanese Kei Nishikori or the 12th-seeded Daniil Medvedev of Russia in the last eight. Federer, in his first appearance at Roland Garros since 2015, will take on Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego in the opening round.
He has to overcome the Greek talent Stefanos Tsitsipas ahead of highly-anticipated semifinal against Nadal, while the sixth seed should also beware of Stan Wawrinka or Marin Cilic beforehand.
