Rafael Nadal: "Every match that I play at Roland Garros, I don't know if it is going to be my last match here" The Spaniard talked to the press following his 5-sets win against Felix Auger-Aliassime in Paris "What do I think made the difference in the end? Well, made the difference that I played a little bit better. Sport is normally very simple, no? When you play better you have better chances; if you play worse, then you have of course less chances. In that case, when I played well, I won the match. When I played not that well, I had a lot of troubles. Because in the first set I didn't play well, so I lost. And then after the first set and a half I started to play much better, in my opinion, much more aggressive. Then I played a good end of the second set and I think a very good third set. Then I make super mistake at the beginning of the fourth when the situation already changed and I was on control of the match, and then I suffered. But most important thing that I played again I think a good fifth set, and especially the last three, four games I played with the right dimensions, so I’m very happy for that. All the respect and credit to Felix that he's playing better and better. If you are not able to push him back is very difficult to control him, because he has a huge serve and first shot with his forehand, yeah, is very aggressive. Regarding the upcoming match against Novak Djokovic, my last match against him was, I think, last year here. I didn't play this kind of matches for the last three months, so it’s going to be a big challenge for me. Of course, Novak already won I think last nine matches in a row, winning in Rome and now winning here in straight sets every match. Probably he will be confident. I know how my situation is, and I accept it well. I am going to fight for it. That’s it. I can't complain much. I am in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros. Two weeks and a half ago, even if I had positive hopes after Rome, I even didn't know if I would be able to be here. So I’m just enjoying the fact that I am here for one more year. And being honest, every match that I play here, I don't know if it is going to be my last match here at Roland Garros in my tennis career, no? That's my situation now. Of course, I went through a tough process again with my foot, so I don't know what can happen in the near future with my career. But that's why I am just trying to enjoy as much as possible and fight as much as I can to keep living the dream that is to keep playing tennis and be back in a very advanced round of Roland Garros, playing against the World No. 1. Let's see. I hope to be able to give myself a chance to play at the highest level possible and then let's see".
