Roland-Garros: Auger-Aliassime leans for Nadal against Djokovic

Félix Auger-Aliassime admitted to having a preference for Rafael Nadal opposed to Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros after being eliminated by the Spaniard on Sunday. “I wish Rafa the best. I have a lot of admiration for him, for everything he has done. He’s also someone I like. I wish him all the best in the next game. Afterwards, I think he also knows that it will be difficult, we played a long time today. It’s quarter-finals again. And after that, there are still two games to win to win the tournament. It’s true, Rafa comes here anyway to win the tournament. Like I said, I wish him the best, but it’s true that it will be a monumental effort for him, I think, to win. But as they have always done, Novak and him, they will give everything until the end, and it will certainly be a good fight, “said the native of Montreal after his loss against the 5th player in the world.
