Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal.

This could become a reality already in the second round of the OS tennis.

On Thursday, the tennis draw for the OS was made – and it's set up for a real showdown early in the tournament.

Serbian Novak Djokovic will face Matthew Ebden, Australia, and Spaniard Rafael Nadal will meet Marton Fucsovics, Hungary, in the first round.

The winners of each match will then face each other – which opens up for a giants' battle between the two legends Djokovic and Nadal.

I'm looking forward to this duel in the second round and I'll give it my all. I'm well aware of what the OS means. I represent my country, which means even more responsibility and pressure, says Djokovic.

Over the past 18 years, Djokovic and Nadal have faced each other 59 times.
