Q: As somebody who has been part of incredible rivalries yourself, and now witnessing a new one with Carlos and Jannik with your vantage points at Laver Cup and watching generally, do you ever find yourself assessing their games from your vantage point? What it would have been like to play against them? And what do you see when you're looking at them?

RF: At Wimbledon, when Grigor was playing against Jannik and I was sitting there, that made it easy to think how it could’ve been because Grigor plays very similar to how I played. I think it was one of the first times I thought how would it have been to play Jannik in a match situation. When I saw Jannik play against Novak in Shanghai I didn’t feel that way, I was just watching great tennis because they both play very different to how I play. Carlos when I see him I feel like okay there's more similarity in terms of what we do, in terms of when we would hit a dropshot/when we would come to the net. How offensive/how passive do we decide to play, because I think we like to play more on our terms. So I put myself more into Carlos's mindset and skin when I watch him [play] Sinner. I thought "Okay, now I understand how I would probably play against Jannik."
