00:00Roland Garros is part of the history of my career, it's the most important place of my career.
00:06The toughest opponent on any surface, I would choose him, even on the Chartres court in Roland Garros.
00:32That is probably the toughest challenge maybe in sports in general.

00:45It's been unbelievable to see his record on clay.
01:02Every record in sports or in tennis can and will probably be broken.
01:07I'm pretty sure the only one that will never be broken is the 14 French Open titles from Rafael Nadal.
01:13If I say that I want to have this mental toughness as he has, it's so typical to say this because it's so obvious that he is the best fighter in the history of sport maybe.
01:28Roland Garros is part of the history of my career, it's the most important place of my career.
