Paris, France (Sports Network) - Rafael Nadal's quest for an eighth French Open title could include a semifinal matchup with world No. 1 Novak Djokovic.

The draw for the second Grand Slam event of 2013 was revealed Friday and a third-seeded Nadal was placed in the top half with the top-seeded Djokovic. The two met in last year's final on the storied red clay of Roland Garros and Nadal came away with a four-set win for his third straight French Open crown and seventh in the past eight years.

Nadal has lost just once in the French capital. The super Spaniard was battling a knee issue when he fell to Robin Soderling in the fourth round of the 2009 event. Soderling went on to lose to Roger Federer in the final, giving the Swiss superstar his only French Open title and the career Grand Slam.   continue>>
