EVERGRIN A ZELENIL: Djokovic and Nadal in the third round on the grass | Tennis

Serbian and Spanish tennis players meet at Wimbledon in the semifinals. Nole: I do not want to stop now, I have a game for the trophy; Rafa: Novak is the toughest opponent possible

The "classic" projected between Nolet and Rafe had epitomized the finals before the finals and while Federer was still in the tournament. After eliminating the "Wimbledon Icon" in the quarterfinals, there is only one shot for life in the Green Club of Ol England – Djokovic on Nadal, 52nd time, and only the third on the grass! In the first semifinals, Kevin Anderson and John Isner meet today (14:00), followed by the pursuit of the epic rivalry, the longest in history.

These two epithets are well known to the players who will be the first of the Central Field. 2010 Wimbledon won the longest tennis match in his history (70:68). Wednesday, Anderson made an epic reversal against an eight-point champion for 13:11 in the fifth set, and two high-powered servers do not allow the start of the derby before 17:00. Perhaps much later …

Djokovic is already accustomed to waiting, tumbling, twilight … In this tournament he included the button "I vs the whole world", which n & # 39, was not intended for self-destruction. He fought not only against the weak rivals (Sandgren, Sebagos, Hachanov), the most powerful Nishikori and the stars of Edmund, but for a week and a half in a club with spectators, media, judges, organizers who were trying to convince him. Central Field

I have nothing … In the work of the conference in Serbian language, Novak spoke a little English.
– There is always a special atmosphere with the media. I try to have a respect, but when someone is not right, I will not give myself. Maybe it bothers someone, but that's all.

– I do not think the gods of Wimbledon turned against me – Novak calmly answered a poetic question in English. – That's right, I would be home, but I'm still here.

The answer on the pitch could not have been better: the first placement in the semifinals of Wimbledon since 2015 and the first Grand Slam of Ju-Es in 2016. [19659004] – If I have to compare the game to that when i won the cup in 2014 and 2015, then i would say i'm pretty close to this level. But it's hard to copy that style. I do not like to copy, but to do something again. But, I like the level at which I play, I deserve it here and I do not want to stop there. I want to fight for the trophy

The Serbian is the weakest of the semi-finalists (12), behind Rafe (2), Kevin (8) and Izner (9), but with perhaps the greatest prospect for the 13th Grand Slam Trophy

– For now, I would only think about the semifinals, not if I'm a favorite or an outsider. I leave you to conclude. I am happy that the season on the grass has taken place. I'm trying to use the memories of previous finals. I've had the chance to play them a lot and the most important thing is to go there day after day. Have a full focus on the next game, and during the break, relax at workout.

Amusement was unexpectedly found in a conversation with the English media who asked him to describe a big avant-garde point against Nishikori

– I'm embarrassed, but not I can remember what is the point. Did I have it at least? E, super. I remember when Kei played through the legs

Many of these points are expected today.
