This certainly isn't easy to do at any age, especially at 35. It's been a privilege to play against many of the greatest players over the decades and Roger has been one of the most enjoyable to play against,
I suppose you could never say never, but my experience would tell me that the most successful players in the world are gonna come from an environment that is more competitive at an early age.
Tennis is at an amazing time when you've got two of the best players ever to play the game. You can argue the two very best playing in the same generation. It's a rivalry I think that we've never seen in our sport.
No athletes talk to themselves like tennis players. Pitchers, golfers, goalkeepers, they mutter to themselves, but tennis players talk to themselves-and answer. Tennis players look like lunatics in a public square.
It's just been terrible this year for the number of players who haven't been ready to play here,
There's always a bit of working out between each player to be done. He got off to a good start and I had to play well to close him out, it felt good to get through that way.

It's not a function of how fast it is because a lot of guys can serve it 135-plus, ... The trajectory is the main issue because you're lunging, but then it's up. You're sort of diving, but then you can't reach it, even if you dive perfectly and on cue.
Each set my quality picked up, and in the fourth set we were both playing well.
