Federer, Nadal threaten Djokovic bid for historic Slam

13 Sept 10:59 Key points summarised by AI

Novak Djokovic aims to achieve a historic second 'Djoko Slam' by winning the French Open, which would mean holding all four Grand Slam titles simultaneously.
Rafael Nadal, the dominant force on clay with 11 Roland Garros titles, poses the most significant threat, having recently defeated Djokovic in the Italian Open final.
Roger Federer returns to Roland Garros after a four-year absence, acknowledging his chances against the top contenders are slim despite feeling confident in his current form.
This rare feat, previously accomplished by Djokovic in 2016, would place him among an elite few in tennis history who have held all four major titles at once.

A meet-and-greet event featuring Chinese actress Bai Lu, a WeTV Global Ambassador, was abruptly cancelled just days after the Chinese Embassy issued its safety warning, though no official reason was provided.
