Tomorrow (Tuesday, 21:45, Eurosport) it happens: Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic meet again for another episode in the biggest rivalry in the history of tennis.
The two will play against each other in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros in the main court of course in the evening session when the winner will play against Carlos Alcras or Sasha Zebrav.
The world number one, who has won the tournament twice, is in excellent shape.
Djokovic, who barely played in the first months of the year after the farce in Australia, is in great shape after reaching the semi-finals in Madrid, winning the Roma tournament and still not dropping a battle at Roland Garros.
In contrast, Nadal - the tournament champion 13 times - dropped two sets in the quarterfinals against Canadian Felix Oja Eliasim, but managed to get past him.
The Spaniard went on to talk about his poor physical condition and even said that the game against Djokovic may be his last ever at Roland Garros.

This will be the 59th meeting between Djokovic and Nadal with the Serb leading 28:30.
It will also be the first meeting between the two since the world number one won the semi-final at Roland Garros last year, so it ended in a huge 6: 3, 3: 6, 6: 7 (4), 2: 6.
A year earlier Nadal had defeated Djokovic in the final in three fairly easy sets.
In 2015 they also met in the quarterfinals in Paris, so Nola won 5: 7, 3: 6, 1: 6 and a year before that Nadal defeated him in the final there.
The balance between the two at Roland Garros stands at 2: 7 to the credit of Nadal, who lost only 3 times in 112 games in the tournament and two of the losses were to Djokovic.
Nadal, who broke the Grand Slam record at the Australian Championships with his 21st, wants to widen the gap while Djokovic dreams and aims to equal him with his 21st.
"Obviously it's a very anticipated game, a lot of people are waiting for it. I'm glad I've not spent too much time on the pitch so far so I can prepare myself well for the quarterfinals and the game against Nadal, it will be a tough physical struggle.
As much as he wants the ticket to the semifinals.
