"The thing is I played the Big 3 when they were let’s call it ‘old’ or over 30. It’s a bit different. They’re all different. All different in their own way, in their game. I feel like you can’t even take something from one and compare it to another because Roger plays on the line. He hits his beautiful technique, shots, goes to the net."
"Novak plays also on the line but completely different. Amazing defense, like a pinball player where the ball comes back so fast at you. Rafa is completely different. He can stand 10 meters behind but he’s gonna run to every ball… banana shot… lefty."
"I don’t think Carlos has anything from them. It’s a different game style. I think where Carlos is different from many players.. we all have our preferences. Some prefer defense, some prefer counter attack, some prefer to be super aggressive. He can do all of it."
"He can sometimes slice.. Even a bad slice, and then run and try to win like this. Many times when guys do this, you can hit an easy shot back and they don’t want to attack. But that’s not Carlos. If you give him an easy shot, you know it’s over for you. That’s what makes it tough. Probably in my career, he’s the toughest opponent I have faced. But I have time to try to do better."
