One month later, another Fedal semifinal
Roger on Rafa:
"[We] haven't played each other in a long, long time on this surface. He's serving way different. I remember back in the day how he used to serve, and now how much bigger he's serving, how much faster he finishes points," Federer said. "It's impressive to see how sort of healthy he's stayed. A lot of them are saying, 'Oh, it's the end,' by 2008. Similar to me in '09. We're still here. So it's nice to play each other again."
Rafa on Roger:
"[To] play against Roger always is a unique situation. Excited to be back on this court against him after 11 years. Means a lot for me and probably for him, too," Nadal said. "Excited about this match, excited about this opportunity to be again in that round against him. Always I say the same: of course, the opportunities to play against each other every time are less, but we are still here. After tomorrow we are going to have another chance."
(Can I stay up past midnight and still wake up in time for SMASH? We will see.)
