With Rafael, at some point, I would tell myself: 'Okay, I’ll serve, and when I’m playing from the baseline, I’ll hit my forehand hard under his backhand and be aggressive.'
With Djokovic, you never feel like you have control. There’s no difference between his forehand and backhand; you never know where to hit the ball.
I was one of the best servers on the tour, but against him, I always felt extra pressure. Rafa was very good, but against him, you had much more time.
