Djokovic reflects on the Nadal/Zverev clash: "On the court at Roland-Garros, it's not the same Rafa"
From Geneva, Novak Djokovic reflects on Thursday's French Open final draw. After seeing off Tallon Griekspoor (7-5, 6-1) to reach the semi-finals, he was asked about Thursday's main lesson: there will be a Nadal-Zverev clash in the first round.
Having come to Switzerland to build up his confidence ahead of Paris, 'Nole' didn't shy away from giving his opinion on the match. He explained that, in his opinion, the match is likely to be very open: "Yes, I've seen the draw. A total spectacle. I'm looking forward to this match, which will be very interesting. Zverev is in top form, he won in Rome. On the Roland Garros court, it's not the same Rafa we're used to. It's Roland Garros, so we'll see what happens. Anything's possible."
In any case, the Serb must already be on his way to Paris, as he fell to Machac on Friday (6-4, 0-6, 6-1).
