Alexander Zverev will not visit the Champions League final in Paris.
“I have tickets, but I won’t go there,” said the top German player after reaching the round of 16 at the French Open: “I’m playing a Grand Slam here and will play the next day. That will go until midnight, that’s way too late. ” He will watch the game at the hotel.
Grand Slam record winner Rafael Nadal, on the other hand, is planning a trip to the football highlight.
“I’ll have to see how I wake up tomorrow,” said the 35-year-old Spaniard after reaching the round of 16: “If my training goes well tomorrow, then it’s my intention and my goal to be there.”
Nadal is a fan of Real Madrid, who meets Liverpool from team manager Jürgen Klopp in the Stade de France in Paris (9 p.m. / ZDF and DAZN).
In return, Nadal’s 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 win over Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp was watched by former Real player and coach Zinedine Zidane.
