Novak Djokovic asked the organizer of the French Championships to avoid playing an evening match on Saturday - since he then wants to watch the Champions League final in football, between Paris Saint Germain and Inter, writes Reuters.

But the tennis icon pleaded in vain. At 8:15 pm, the Serbian former world number one will face Filip Misolic, Austria, in the third round.

The Champions League final, which takes place in Munich, starts at 21.00.
