Novak Djokovic enjoyed a well-deserved break at Roland Garros this Friday. After clearly beating Roberto Carballés, the number 1 took advantage of the fact that he does not play again until this Saturday (at 8:30 pm against Lorenzo Musetti) to approach the Accor Arena, a stage he knows very well because he plays there . every year.
Nikola Karabatic retiredwho is playing his last game at PSG in a rivalry where the French League title is at stake.
They have to beat PAUC (Pays d’Aix) to become champions. And they do it like that. 39-36 was the final score that gave way to the party where Djokovic participated.
The Serbian, who hugged the French player before the start of the match, He was in charge of presenting the champion trophy.
If you remember the headline, we’re talking about Karabatic’s rough farewell. We explain why. In the final moments of the match, the referees awarded a penalty in favor of PSG. The perfect opportunity for Karabatic to score a goal with his last shot and put the perfect finishing touch on an (almost) perfect playing career.
Nikola caught the ball, He went to the 7 meter line, threw the ball… which went straight into the face of the PAUCC goalkeeper.Denis Serdarevic!
Regulation in hand, that action deserves a red card and, in fact, Karabatic himself, after apologizing to the rival goalkeeper, He retired to the bench for a few seconds thinking he had been sent off, but that was not the case. and it had to be his teammates who told him he could return to the field.
A completely unexpected and even somewhat unfair end for a legend like Nikola Karabatic, although as he himself said in his farewell speech: “You can have a career full of titles and end it with a bad exit. I apologize to everyone.” Genius and figure to the end.
