It's always 50-50. I lost my first one in the second round. I've got to some early leads and that makes a difference.I know he worked so hard in the preparation week. He's a great player. This tournament is a big break through for him. Either of us could have won this tonight, maybe it was a little bit of experience that helped me. It won't be long until he's into a grand slam final.I always have to play the kings of these grand slams. Rafa in the French Open, Novak here.
