From Nole

After the match, a satisfied Nole had some comments on Murray’s fitness and the possibility he won’t play the Roland Garros. 

“He is a great player and I hope he is fit to play,”

“But everyone is different and the grand slams are the most important events in our sport – that’s where you want to make your mark. Many occasions in my career where I didn’t feel well, I played, but I understand what a tennis player feels when he struggles with injury. It is our worst enemy. You have to handle it the best way you can.”

Next vs. Berdych

Nole will play the quarters against Tomas that has defeat Anderson 7-5 6-2. Head to head is 13-1 for Nole. 1-0 on clay.
