“I think for many years Rafa and me, we've tried to play against each other here, and it just didn't work out. I was a match point away once against Novak years ago. I can't come closer than that because I think he had already won his match, I believe. We were one point away from it happening.
“Now this week, I don't feel necessarily the pressure's there. We'll see. [There will be] a new Grand Slam finalist in the bottom section, which is exciting in itself, I think. In the top [half] we actually really have good players left. A lot of them can play at a very high level. They're all facing off now. I think it's an exciting tournament. I'm happy I'm still around.
