Athletistic/Tennis. Alexei Selivanenko, vice-president of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF), commented on Novak Djokovic’s victory over Carlos Alcaras with a score of 6:3, 5:7, 6:1, 6:1 in the semi-finals of Roland Garros.

Selivanenko noted that in the first two sets there was an even fight on the court. He pointed out that if Alcaraz hadn’t been injured, the match could have turned into an hour-long five-set fight with an uncertain outcome. Despite the injury, the Spaniard did not withdraw from the game, because athletes of this level always play to the end, if there is at least a little strength. Selivanenko called it a manifestation of sportsmanship and the desire to fight. He gave the example of Roger Federer, who never retired from a game during a game. These athletes tend to prefer to finish the game even if they cannot perform at full capacity. Moreover, in tennis, the opponent can also have unforeseen situations.

Djokovic will face Norway’s Kasper Ruud in the Roland Garros final.
