Against Djokovic, I always felt extra pressure; with Nadal, I had much more time, Lopez compares Djokovic and Nadal

Feliciano Lopez has faced Novak Djokovic 10 times and Rafael Nadal 14 times. The Spaniard has one win against the Serb and four against his compatriot.

In comments cited by Tennis365, he stated: "There's one thing with Djokovic: you never know where to hit the ball against him.

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.
