It was never a sure thing that Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal would meet in the second round of the men’s singles.

But Nadal got through. And so itwas scheduled for Monday, second on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

You hoped the Spaniard would wake up good to go. He didn’t, really; he was just too slow to withstand the Djokovic relentless pressure. But for a moment, it was vintage.

Also – the mixed doubles started Monday.

Leylah Fernandez and Bianca Andreescu were the Canadians up in singles on Monday, with Fernandez prevailing and Andreescu, who hyperextended her left thumb halfway through, going down to Donna Vekic.
