Djokovic too strong
Nadal after Olympic exit: “…then I will stop”
1:6 and 4:6 - Rafael Nadal had no chance against his long-time rival Novak Djokovic in the second round of the Olympic tennis tournament. "I've been plagued by a lot of injuries over the past two years. When I feel that I can no longer keep up, I will stop. And then I'll let you know," said the Spaniard about his future.
"I couldn't put him in difficult situations. He played much better than me - from start to finish," Nadal admitted.
However, the Olympics are not over for him yet. On Tuesday, he and his seventeen years younger compatriot Carlos Alcaraz will compete in the round of 16 in the doubles. The injury-plagued Nadal left open whether he will return to Roland Garros afterwards.
"The more he plays, the more tennis wins"
For Djokovic, it was his 31st win in the 60th match between the two superstars. He was hoping for a sporting reunion with one of his great rivals. "The more he plays, the more tennis wins," said Djokovic.
