Nadal wins and they finish with a H2H of 30 wins each, perfectly balanced.
Also I'm doubled Canada plays Fritz and Paul first round and Nadal/Alcaraz play the #6 seeds from Argentina.

The way Fils is playing these days and with a boisterous French crowd behind him, that will be a great match regardless if it is Rafa or Novak (and assuming Fils is the opponent).

Fils ain't gonna get past Milos!

Fils is not good on clay either. Clay sometimes helps players with a big game like Milos, more time to set your feet and crush forehands.

He just beat Zverev to take the Hamburg title and played some incredible tennis in that match. I'm actually concerned about Milos' first round match versus Koepfer.

Giron (just won Newport) and Koepfer aren't pushovers. I wouldn't shocked if both Milos and Felix fail to advance.

Rybakina has pulled out of the Olympics with bronchitis. It's likely Iga's gold medal to lose, but this appears to be a great chance for either Leylah or Bianca to snag a medal (and who know, maybe both could get a medal).

I'm reading that Bianca's singles match as well as Leylah and Gaby's doubles match has been postponed due to rain. It sounds like they going to try to get as many singles matches in as they can (including Leylah and Felix).
