The Spaniard Toni Nadal said before the match of the quarterfinals of Roland Garros between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic that Rafa wanted to play in the daytime.
The two of them will play from 8:45 p.m. Tony pointed out that this could be the last French Open for Nadal.
- Rafa had a difficult year and he knows that this Roland Garros could be his last. That is why he wanted to play during the day, because then the conditions are most similar to those in the final. But money decides – Tony explained.
It will be the 59th meeting of the greatest rivals in the history of tennis and the tenth clash on the clay of Roland Garros. Of the previous nine, Nadal won seven, but Djokovic celebrated last year and is the only one to beat Rafa in Paris (2015, 2021), along with Robin Soderling (2009).
