When in the spring of 2005, Rafael Nadal beat David Ferrer and stood in the semifinals against Roger Federer, Roland Garros prefaced that match with the pomp of a real event. "I see a more balanced match than a lot of people think.
Any detail can make victory fall on one side or the other." "The absence of Nadal, who intends to return next year in what would be his last active season, is accentuated as its resolution approaches" "Djokovic has a brutal added pressure of wanting to become the best tennis player in history"
