00:00It's probably one of the biggest challenges that you can have in the
00:06tennis tour playing Rafa on Roland Garros. I mean we know his records there
00:12and I played him probably more than any other player has played him on that
00:18court. The court is bigger, there's more space which affects visually the play a
00:29lot and the feeling of the player on the court and he likes to stand behind you
00:33know quite far back return so you have sometimes when he's really in the zone
00:40and in the groove and not making many errors you feel like he's you cannot
00:43it's impenetrable you know he's like a wall you know it's it's it's it's really
00:50a paramount challenge you know to play him and Roland Garros he's an incredible
00:54athlete the tenacity and intensity he brings on the court particularly there
01:00is is something that is very was very rarely seen I think in the history of
01:06the sport so I'm sure there is going to be very emotional tournament for him you
01:13know as it is probably was in Madrid here but there in particular because of
01:18all the records he has
