Rafael Nadal is at a disadvantage
Novak Djokovic has been in an incredible form in 2020, losing only one match. However, that is not the only reason for Rafa to be worried.
Since the event is being played in September, the conditions are a lot cooler. This means that Nadal can’t extract as much topspin out of the surface. So far, it has not affected him but he has not faced an opponent of Djokovic’s caliber.

Clearly, this is going to be the toughest challenge that Rafa has ever faced at the Roland Garros. However, he is the 12-time winner in Paris for a reason. All of his fans can expect him to play his best tennis today and hopefully, it will be enough for him to be victorious once again.
