00:00 I don't think that Carlos has an edge on Novak.

00:02 (upbeat music)

00:05 I think he beat him in the Grand Slam final.

00:07 Novak beat him in Rangaros.

00:09 Of course he had cramps, but he did.

00:10 So I think both players are very close in terms of level.

00:13 I think Novak can play much better

00:15 than what he did in the final.

00:16 I think he was very nervous.

00:17 I feel that being this ultimate favorite all the time

00:20 and playing for history, it has to be a burden.

00:22 It's not a burden to a point that he cannot play

00:24 because he can play and he can win

00:26 and he's still an incredible player.

00:28 But when it comes to killing the match,

00:30 it's just not going through the ball.

00:32 It's just a bit pushing the ball

00:34 and against Carlos, it's not enough.

00:36 So in a way, the fact that Carlos is now a favorite as well,

00:39 Novak will feel more free, I think, in the next time.

00:41 The next time he's gonna play him,

00:42 but he definitely has someone who can prevent him

00:45 from winning Grand Slams.

00:45 Will Carlos prevent him from winning any Grand Slams?

00:48 I don't think so.

00:49 Will he take some and Novak will take some?

00:50 I think so.

00:51 (silence)
