Help me find a quote?

So a while ago I came across a video of Nadal answering an interview question. The question was something along the lines of "Who do you think is your greatest rival?" and even though Nadal isn't my favorite player, I liked his response so much that I can't help but think that his answer was one of the greatest in player interviews. His said something longer than what I can remember, which is something like "Roger, Novak, (Ferrer, maybe), they all push me so hard to become a better player, I respect them so much and I can't possibly choose one."

Sorry if I totally butchered what was actually said in the question, but is anyone familiar with this interview/question? I can't seem to find it...

Why do you like that answer so much? It sounds like a typical Humbalito answer. He never answers straightforward but always gives a cautious politcally correct answer. (not that that's a bad thing necessarily)

Hmm...I can't fully describe it, I would need to hear it again...:neutral:

Well regarding the "humble" part of it, this answer is one of those that I believe that you have to genuinely feel to actually come up with. Just my opinion.

Yeah, I agree with Merwy. I have always hated his pre and post match interviews. Always the same stuff.......He is probably the worst at repitition, when it comes to speaking.

From what I've read, Nadal typically gives eloquent and insightful answers when he's speaking in Spanish. It's understandable that he gives similar responses whenever he speaks in English, because he's comfortable and knows what he's saying. Better to do that than to go out of his comfort zone and mis speak in a way that people misinterpret what he's saying in a bad way.
