Popyrin draws Nadal, Big Three grouped in same half at Roland-Garros – The Sydney Morning Herald
Australian Alexei Popyrin has been dealt the toughest assignment in tennis, while world No.1 Ashleigh Barty will play American Bernarda Pera first.
The only certainties before the draw were that Djokovic would be on one side and No.2 Daniil Medvedev on the other; Nadal and No.4 Dominic Thiem were randomly placed and could have shown up in either half.
Federer, whose record for most weeks at No.1 in the ATP rankings recently was broken by Djokovic, turns 40 in August.
The Swiss legend is ranked No.8 after playing only three matches over the past 15 months because of two operations on his right knee. He could meet Djokovic in the quarter-finals.
