Novak Djokovic had promised fireworks for this latest – and quite possibly last – instalment of one of tennis’ longest rivalries, but this clash between two kings did not quite live up to its blockbuster billing.

Coco Gauff is making it look easy at the Paris Olympics so far, adding a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Maria Lourdes Carle of Argentina in the second round of singles Monday to her growing collection of lopsided results. Men moving into the third round included Casper Ruud of Norway and Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece, who both have reached French Open finals, while Carlos Alcaraz — who is teaming with Nadal in doubles for Spain — was playing Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands in singles at night.
