They may become opponents during the match, for a few brief hours...
... but they will always recognise the friend on the other side of the net once the match is over.
Andy: „This is his day today. What he’s achieved the last 12 months is phenomenal. Winning all four of the Grand Slams in one year is an amazing achievement. This is something that is so rare in tennis. It’s not happened for an extremely long time and it’s going to take a long time for it to happen again. Everyone here who came to watch is obviously extremely lucky to see it. Me personally being on the opposite side - it sucks to lose the match but… I’m proud to have been a part of today. So, congratulations, Novak, well done.”
