Rafael Nadal lost in the first round of the French Open in what might be his last appearance at the tournament he has dominated throughout his career. Nadal, who has only played in four tournaments this year while trying to shake off nagging injuries, was unseeded and got a tough draw — he had to face 4th-seeded Alexander Zverev yesterday. It was only Nadal’s fourth loss at Roland Garros in 18 appearances, as he won the tournament 14 times from 2005-2022. After the match, 37-year-old said there is a "big percentage" that this will be his last French Open, but either way, he’s expected to be back in Paris for the Olympics later this summer.
