Roland Garros day 8 recap: impressive Fedal, press-conference and ...
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer's march continues at the Roland Garros 2019. The Swiss will face his countryman Stan Wawrinka in the quarter-finals, and he could meet Rafa in the semifinals. Petra Martic, Sloane Stephens, Johanna Konta and Marketa Vondrousova reached the quarters.
Mats Wilander believes that Rafael Nadal can match and overcome Federer's Slams, but on one condition: "If the final is played at the moment, I would say Rafael Nadal would win it, without doubt. It is very difficult to beat Rafa at Roland Garros. Winning it once again he could exceed the record of twenty Majors of Roger Federer. If he wins in France, he can also do it in New York at the next US Open".
Talking about Federer, John McEnroe has no doubts about who is the most beautiful player to see on a courts: "Rod Laver was my idol, but Roger is the most beautiful and spectacular player I've ever seen in this sport", said the US.
Katerina Siniakova was abandoned by her coach, but she took her revenge by beating the world no. 1 Naomi Osaka: "I found out that he would coach another player, Anastasia Potapova. It was very disappointing, especially from the Potapova's clan. It is unethical to contact a coach who is working with another player".
Dominic Thiem was kicked out of the Main Room for press conferences by ... Serena Williams! The Austrian had to go to room 2 because the US was coming for her conference. But he should also have left this room because the beginning of del Potro's press conference was imminent! ”Incredible.
Tomorrow the fourth round will be completed, and we will have all the quarter-final matches.
