The American will face Rafael Nadal, who defeated Grigor Dimitrov 6-3 6-2 in the other semifinal. During the press conference, the Spaniard recalled his first match against Roger Federer (when Rafa was very young): “He was not my idol.
He was primary in the world, and I used to be already on the circuit. I confronted the sport with enthusiasm and the self-confidence of the younger man who has nothing to lose, that approach I confronted him. As we speak the conditions they’re completely different.
In the finish, when you find yourself younger, the energy of novelty is thought. Gamers know you much less and you already know everybody much less. For you, every event is a brand new expertise. That year was my first full year in the event, my Miami's first event … when you find yourself younger, that I began the circuit very younger, you reside one thing completely different from what it is in the present day.
All the tournaments you go to have repeated them many occasions. They’re neither higher nor higher conditions. worse, they’re completely different. And every part on this life all the time has a particular taste."
