Rafael Nadal: “I have to play aggressive. I have to play my game. If I am playing at the level I played the first set [today], I really hope that I will have chances.”
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga: “He [Rafael Nadal] won eight times here. Anything I might achieve will be just a bonus for me. I have no longer any pain in my legs because I know I’m going to play a player that’s a lot better than I am on clay. But I do have some weapons. I have everything to win and nothing to lose.”
