PARIS: Former champion and master of clay Spain’s Rafael Nadal will face Canadian ninth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in the fourth round at Roland Garros today.
“I want the best for him and he wants the best for me,” said Rafael Nadal.
“I don’t think he will be able to want me to lose, without a doubt. But he’s a professional and he’s with another player.”
Nadal, seeded fifth after missing a chunk of the season with a rib injury but seeking a record-extending 14th Roland Garros title, could set up a quarterfinal meeting with defending champion Novak Djokovic.
Serbia’s Djokovic, 34, faces his biggest test so far when he faces 15th seed Diego Schwartzman at around 12:00 BST on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
