The schedule at the French Open means well with Rafael Nadal. Because the 13-time Paris champion does not have a tennis match at the Stade Roland Garros on Saturday, he can go to the Stade de France in peace in the evening. Nadal is a big Real Madrid fan and had already secured tickets for the Real Madrid match against Liverpool before the draw. “If I feel good, I definitely go to the stadium. And I expect to be fine,” Nadal said. His next game at the French Open is not until Sunday against Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Although he is also one of the lucky ones to have tickets for the final, Alexander Zverev will not visit the Stade de France. “I’m playing a Grand Slam tournament here, I’ll play again on Sunday. The game goes on almost until midnight before I get back to the hotel. It’s much too late, »said Zverev on Friday evening in Paris.
Of course he would watch Real Madrid’s game against Liverpool on TV, said Zverev, who is torn as to who to keep his fingers crossed for. “I’m a big Jürgen Klopp fan, so I’m a bit at Liverpool FC,” said Zverev, “but I also know Toni Kroos very well,” said the Olympic tennis champion. “Unfortunately, FC Bayern Munich isn’t playing in the final, then the answer would be simple,” said Zverev, who is a big Bayern fan.
