PARIS - Rafael Nadal exited what could be his last French Open to an outpouring of love and support with a first-round defeat by Alexander Zverev, wishing to be back at Roland Garros for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

As soon as Zverev eased the pressure, however, Nadal converted his first break point to take a 3-2 lead in the second set.
