Despite a momentary lapse of concentration in the second set, Djokovic secured a 6-1, 6-4 victory, advancing to the third round.<br \/>The 24-time Grand Slam singles champion, who has yet to claim an Olympic gold medal, displayed unwavering focus and determination throughout the match, Reuters reported. <br \/>Djokovic&#8217;s relentless groundstrokes and impeccable drop shots pushed the 38-year-old Nadal to his limits, exposing the age gap between the two tennis giants. The Serbian quickly established a dominant 6-1, 4-0 lead, leaving no room for doubt about his superiority on the court.<br \/>Nadal, a player who had reigned supreme at this venue, fought valiantly to even the score at 4-4. The local spectators were thrilled, eagerly anticipating a captivating battle between two of the sport&#8217;s most legendary figures in their unprecedented 60th meeting.<br \/>Notwithstanding his resurgence in the second set, Nadal struggled to maintain the necessary accuracy and steadiness required at this stage. He was powerless to prevent the 37-year-old Djokovic from clinching the win on his first match point, which he secured with a commanding ace.<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
