Rafael Nadal

"I felt like what I saw was the old classic Rafa on clay hardly losing sets and matches. Thats what we got from him. Thats why its going to be incredibly hard to beat him here at Wimbledon."

"He has never broken a racket in anger. It would be showing a lack of respect to people who actually have to buy the equipment to play the sport."

"He is like a beast, an animal, on the court. Hes very strong and hes very well prepared."

"If you are playing bad you are going to lose here, on clay, on ice, or on the beach."

"To be honest, I havent felt at my best since this tournament began. I didnt feel good with the court or the balls. But those are excuses. You have to accept when you dont play well and somebody else does."

"I just wanted to see how the shorts felt again."

"Hes a fantastic player and hes going to be around so much longer so Im happy with every one I get before he takes them all"

"Everybody likes to say that Roger Federer is the Greatest Player of all time because its so nice to watch him play...but you have got to throw in Nadals Mind as well...and Thats the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!"

"Almagro … is a guy thats won like 11, 12, clay court titles, won them all on clay. The guys very, very good clay-court player.I dont think hes ever played better than he played - and he still cant win a set. Like how discouraging it is to play Nadal on this surface.Ah, God, I have seen him a thousand times. I just watch this guy and its hard to even know where to begin to pick one thing.The way hes improved his game, like his serve, the parts of his game where he can move forward, his volley, the defensive ability hes got to track down balls and just make you play extra shots.And the way he sort of slides into balls and puts away a shot - shots that seem like impossible when I was playing - it was unheard of."
