“I can imagine that Nadal, who is a great tėnnis fighter, has always looked for the challenge of solving problems. And I think that with Roger, it’s the same thing. Maybe they each have their philosophy about how to solve the problem. Roger always needs to feel something positive, he always needs to feel the opening up of a possibility, a path, a solution.”

World Number two, Rafael Nadal will be playing the Rogers Cup 2019 in Montreal and World Number three, Roger Federer will be seen action at Cincinnati Open 2019 and the Swiss has begun with his hard-court practice sessions.
