Monday's slate for the Paris Olympics includes a blockbuster tennis match, a handful of the world's biggest basketball stars, a couple of compelling swimming finals and a gymnastics showdown. Here's a guide of what to look out for:
The biggest highlight of the Roland Garros schedule is Rafael Nadal taking on Novak Djokovic in the second match of the day on Court Philippe Chatrier. It is the 60th meeting of the longtime tennis rivals, more than any other two men have played against each other in the sport’s Open era, which began in 1968.
Djokovic, a 37-year-old from Serbia, has 24 Grand Slam titles, making him the only man in tennis history with more than Nadal’s 22.
