Losing two consecutive times to Nole didn’t really destroy Rafa’s morale.
The world no.1 loves his rivalry with the Serbian to comment “I think is amazing playing 39 times. What’s happening the last five, six years, four years, is just amazing that the same players have been competing for every tournament, every single important tournament of the year.
So that’s something that didn’t happen very often in the history of our sport. We are in a special moment of the history of tennis. I don’t say that’s a better moment than others, but is special for this fact. So I don’t know for how many years we will have the chance to repeat that situation.”
About the Australian Open
Rafa has won the Australian Open “only” once in 2009 and last year he couldn’t compete as he was still injured. The Spaniard likes those courts to comment “Is a little bit more favorable court for me. I gonna try to prepare myself as good as I can.”
