Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal asked the organizers of Roland Garros to postpone the match with the Serb Novak Djokovic for the afternoon session, but was turned down, according to the Times.
The quarter-final meeting between Djokovic (1st seed) and Nadal (5th) will take place on Tuesday and will start at 9:45 p.m. Moscow time at the earliest.
According to the publication, Nadal has made no secret of his desire to play during the day and Djokovic said he plays “historically well” at night. Concerns have also been raised about a significant reduction in potential television audiences, with late-night matches being shown exclusively on a pay-TV channel. After negotiations, the broadcaster agreed to open the online platform to all residents of France without the need to register.
35-year-old Spanish coach Carlos Moya has expressed his displeasure over the organizers’ decision not to reschedule the game.
– I wouldn’t say it’s disrespectful, but Rafa has a reputation at Roland-Garros, he won the tournament 13 times. If he has a request, you must take it into account. He is part of the history of Roland Garros. But it’s a business matter, we understand, – quotes the words of a specialist from RMC Sport.
