Novak Djokovic goes into detail about what it's like to compete in these temperatures, as well as explaining the differences between the audience at Roland Garros and at this event.

Very different conditions

"I'm sweating a lot, honestly," said Novak, who experienced firsthand the summery conditions in Paris speaking to Eurosport. "It's a very humid day, just like it was yesterday. I just hope for rain to cool down the temperature and the atmosphere a bit. It is what it is, you have to accept and adapt to the conditions, it's the same for your opponent, so you have to try to do your best."

The audience at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games

"It's a great honor to represent my country at the Olympic Games, an incredible event for sports. We play Roland Garros every year in this stadium, but the stands, the atmosphere, the colors... Everything is different in a positive way. The fans at Roland Garros are very passionate about tennis, but the audience comes from all over the world to support their respective countries. It's something beautiful to see, we all celebrate the sport."
