“Wimbledon last year, he had two match points, he was one shot away from winning that match. It’s not like I’ve been dominating the match ups. I’ve had success against him, as you said, in Grand Slams in particular.
“But Roger is Roger. You know that he’s always going to play on such a high level, regardless of the surface. He loves to play these kind of matches, big rivalries, semis, finals of Grand Slams.
“I mean, he’s probably going to confirm that that’s probably the biggest reason why he’s still competing, to be able to compete at the Grand Slams against the best players in the world.
“What he did today was really amazing. I mean, to come back and save seven match points at his age, I mean, he’s still playing such a great tennis and proving that he deserves to be up there. He’s a great fighter. Obviously I have lots of respect for him.
