Nadal’s match against Zverev is a rematch of their 2022 semi-final that ended when the German tore ligaments in his right ankle.

Nadal, who like Murray is unseeded, is returning to the tournament he has dominated for the first time since winning his record-extending 14th title two years ago. The Spaniard has been troubled by injuries since the start of 2023 and missed the French Open last year after undergoing hip surgery.

Murray, a finalist in 2016, had looked set to miss out on the year’s second Grand Slam after he injured his ankle in March but returned to action with appearances in Bordeaux and Geneva earlier this month.
