The spectacle of the third day of the Olympics, a clash that will perhaps mark the entire games in Paris.
Novak Djokovic vs. Rafael Nadal, chapter 60 - quite possibly the last act of the greatest rivalry in the history of tennis, and for some in the history of sports...
"I will try my best to create problems for him. It is uncertain what will happen, but I will go out on the field with the right attitude and if inspiration comes to me, I will break myself from the effort to make it a special day. It is a match that I am looking forward to, but I'm careful because I don't know at what competitive level I can be. I'm enjoying this experience," said Nadal.
The date of the duel, the 1/16 finals of the Olympic Games, is also known - around 13.30:XNUMX p.m., at the iconic "Filip Šatrije".
Djokovic is a clear favorite according to the bookmakers (victory odds around 1,15, compared to 5,5 for Nadal), although he has lost as many as 20 of his 28 duels on clay to Rafa.
These are, however, new moments - the Serbian tennis player, 37 years old, recently reached the Wimbledon final without any problems, despite a procedure on his knee, while the one-year-old Spaniard is struggling with injuries after announcing that this could be his last season in career.
- We play in a different situation than before - before, we played in the final stages of the tournament, fighting for important things. I don't know what level I can be at - said Nadal.
