3.17pm: Friends of OA Sport, there is certainly curiosity to understand what will happen today on Philippe Chatrier. Will Nadal pull off another incredible miracle or will Zverev triumph and confirm his prediction from the day before.
3.15pm: It’s time for the draw. There is really great anticipation. Will it be Nadal’s last in Paris?
3.13pm: Wonderful atmosphere in Paris. The entire audience at the Philippe Chatrier stood up when Rafael Nadal entered.
3.12pm: Nadal is warming up in the corridor of Roland Garros. Images that we have seen a thousand times and perhaps this could be the last.
3.10pm: There are ten previous matches with seven victories for Nadal and three for Zverev. The last time the two faced each other dates back to that 2022 semi-final, which unfortunately ended after less than two sets due to the German’s very serious ankle injury.
3.07pm: There is no doubt that from the moment of the draw this is the match everyone is waiting for. On the one hand one of the great favorites for the final victory and fresh winner of the Italian Internationals, on the other one who has been the absolute master of this Slam for his entire life and who could also be at the last dance of his career in Paris.
3.03pm: The game will be played with the roof closed as it is raining heavily in Paris. The game characteristics certainly change compared to playing outdoors.
3.01pm: Rafael Nadal and Alexander Zverev will be on the court very soon. There is no doubt that it is the most anticipated challenge of this first round.
2.58pm: The last match before the super challenge also ended, with the victory of Iga Swiatek over the Frenchwoman Jeanjean.

Good morning and welcome to LIVE LIVE of the Rafael Nadal-Alexander Zverev match, valid for the first round of Roland Garros 2024. The most anticipated match of the first round of the Parisian Slam.
A truly sensational twist. On the one hand probably the fittest player of the moment and on the other the undisputed king of Roland Garros at his last dance. It almost seems like a closing circle for Zverev, who two years ago suffered a terrible ankle injury against Nadal in the Roland Garros semi-final.
At the time of the draw both players will certainly not have been happy, given that one of the two will already have to say goodbye to Paris in the first round. Whatever the outcome of the match, it will be a real twist, with the tournament already losing one of its most anticipated protagonists.
OA Sport offers you the Live broadcast of the match Rafael Nadal-Alexander Zverev, valid for the first round of Roland Garros 2024: real-time news and constant updates. The challenge is scheduled as the third match from 12.00. Previously Vickery-Jabeur and Swiatek-Jeanjean. Good fun!
