Olympic Games men's tennis semi-final clash
Tearful Del Potro sets up Nadal clash in Olympic tennis semis
Argentina's Juan Martin Del Potro celebrates after winning his men's singles quarter-finals match against Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut on August 12, 2016
Rio de Janeiro - Arab Today
Juan Martin del Potro defeated Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut 7-5, 7-6 (7/4) to set-up a blockbuster Olympic Games men's tennis semi-final clash against Rafael Nadal on Friday.
The giant Argentine, who knocked out world number one Novak Djokovic in the first round, wept in his courtside chair at the end of the quarter-final.
The former US Open champion fired 42 winners in his win but seemed to be struggling with his fitness in the closing stages.
That wasn't too surprising for a player who has undergone a series of wrist surgeries and missed most of the last two seasons, leading to his current ranking slump at 141 in the world.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
