You had to be a visionary to imagine a semi-final between Rafael Nadal and Alexander Zverev this year. After the draw, everyone was talking only about the potential quarter-final between the Spaniard and Novak Djokovic. A dantesque match which saw the record holder of victories at Roland-Garros prevail at the end of the night. Opposite, the 25-year-old German managed to overcome the new nugget of world tennis, Carlos Alcaraz and today, the duel between the two stars should still spark the center of Roland-Garros.
Rafael Nadal’s state of form worries many tennis lovers, he who suffers from a syndrome that causes terrible pain in his left foot. “It’s there all the time. Sometimes more, sometimes less. My problem is that there are a lot of days when I live with too much pain (…) I live with a ton of anti- inflammatory drugs on a daily basis to give me a chance. If I don’t take it, I limp”, the 36-year-old explained recently. If he seems to be suffering, Rafael Nadal can in any case count on a particularly comfortable living environment this year in Paris. This is also very good because on this June 3, Mallorca turns 36let’s hope it brings him luck for his match today!

After his epic match against Novak Djokovic, the tennis player was entitled to two days off and he took advantage of his day yesterday to refine his preparation for today’s match. We also saw him return to his hotel with his wife Xisca Perello and the two lovers have chosen to stay at Grand Hotel This year. A highly reputed establishment, located in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, in the Opera district.
