David Goffin

“It is never easy for sure against Roger.”

“Everything is in the timing, I think. I see the ball earlier than the others so maybe that's why I have a good return.”

“When you play against Rafa, you have to play two hours and 40, 45 minutes.”

“It's a great feeling. In the future, I can tell my children that I was in the top 10.”

“I try to win every match, and then we see at the end.”

“Against Novak and Rafa, you have balls to hit, but they are so physically really tough. And Roger, he just takes position in the court. He tries to go forward all the time, go for the winners. Then you just don't play tennis against him.”

“Hard courts are faster and the bounce is lower indoors. Rafa cannot slide on this surface. He's more comfortable on clay, where he can play higher, he can play deeper.”

“Of course I knew when I was young that I had some qualities, physically.”

“I have played some good matches against Rafa on clay.”

“Sometimes you try different things when you play the best ones many times and you lost a few times, so you have to change sometimes.”

“We all know how good Roger is on grass.”

“I knew that I had some qualities, physically and 'tennistically.' But my goal was to be top 100.”

“As a tennis player, normally you lose almost every week.”

“Rafa is one of the most fair players on the tour.”

“When you've won a lot of matches you know how to play the important moment - you have a great feeling on court, confidence. You know what you have to do, when to go for the shots or when to play solid. It's really clear in your head, and you trust in your hands.”

“Oh, it's always big when you play Rafa on a big stadium, night session, you play for your country.”

“I don't have the same serve speed as some of the guys, but I have good footwork, and I take the ball early.”

“It is never easy to play with Roger, Rafa and Novak in the middle of the tournament because they've had matches and are fresh.”

“The key for me will be to play as long as I can and hopefully to be physically like Roger when I'm 36.”

“Even if I'm not a big guy, I have good footwork, I'm fast on the court, and I see the ball really early.”
