I'm pretty sure he was asked whether or not he had an advantage over the other two bc Fedovic are in the same half of the draw and he said no.
Please frick off.. I'm not creating a story. This is what rafa himself saidFed devotee, I wonder what's the connection between Rafa's reply at his pre-tournament press conference and the story you created?
Rafa was asked: "Do you have an advantage, where the draw came out with Roger and Djokovic?"
Rafa replied: "I don’t know. I have to win my matches to have an advantage because I only can meet them in the semi-finals. I have plenty of work before that to know if I have an advantage or not. So let’s see if I am able to do my work for my side. That's not an advantage or disadvantage. That's part of the draw. That's part of the things that happen when you are No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3."
Just wanted to ask who's the other Federer?P.S. :- Forgive me for the grammer sins in title. Just woke up from sleep so expect some blips ..
From universe no. 77654Just wanted to ask who's the other Federer?
Rafa always downplays his chances before every event. I would love it if he would just walk into the French Open press room the day before play and say, "I got #9 (10,11, 12) in the bag. Nobody gonna touch me cause I am King of Clay." Instead he always says he's not the favorite, the field is great, etc. He's never varied from this, it's just how he approaches tournaments.
Not sure if this is literally his standard response, but I'm sure his answer mostly is something similar to questions of this kind. Although Fed and Novak also give you a similar answer somehow I think Rafa says that with more sincerity and believes that he has to respect every opponent, and I like him for that.Just Rafa's standard response to any prospective opponent whether they are world #1 or world # 301: "He is playing very good so I have to try my best and maybe I will have a chance, no?"

Don't start offending or accusing me. Not in any sort of benevolent mood right now
Yes I don't think he was talking about his advantage over his top rivals. He was being realistic in saying that he needs to take care of the opponents in his half of the draw first because that's how the draws play out. He is going to meet these guys only in semis or finals.
His English has improved tremendously and yet some still complaint
Yeah..Figured out the Quote now?
Welcome to the forums
You are taking things out of context and therefor you making it sound like he said something else.Please frick off.. I'm not creating a story. This is what rafa himself said

Hopefully A LOT!!!
Well, he said it.
This is not Rafa's quote, OP generated fiction.
You are taking it out of context and making it sound he said something else. That’s it.
