Seven-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal says he isn’t concerned about who is tabbed as the favorite before he and world No. 1 Novak Djokovic face off in the Roland Garros semifinals.
“I don’t give a damn about it,” Nadal said. “I try and play my best tennis, and the least of my concerns is to know if I’m favored or not. These are words that will be carried away by the wind. What will stay is my tennis, my match, and who is going to win the match. That’s reality. But the rest is speculation beforehand.”
