Legendary Russian tennis player Andrei Olkhovsky said that the rivalry between Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic and Spaniard Rafael Nadal has become an adornment of world sports. On July 29, the Serb and the Spaniard will face each other in the second round of the Olympic tennis tournament in men’s singles.
“It seems to me that a very interesting match awaits us. The confrontation between Djokovic and Nadal has become a decoration of world sport, they have played a lot of great matches here, I would not look for a favorite, the Serb and the Spaniard played different matches in the first round, but they had a completely different level of opponents, perhaps this will be their last face-to-face, such moments are very valuable,” Olkhovsky said according to TASS.
