And I’m not saying this because I’m Rafael Nadal’s uncle – not at all. I try to be fair, but it’s clear.” “Before, when you went out to play against [Juan] Del Potro, [Andy] Murray, or [Stan] Wawrinka , you knew you were going to suffer and that the match was going to be tough. If they had a great day, they could beat you,” Nadal told Onda …
