Rafael Nadal:  "I respect him, I know how good Richard is. I know he's coming back after a tough period of time. I think he played smart, playing aggressive. I just went on court with highest respect, with the highest focus possible, and that's what I try to do every day against everyone.

“I think I played a great first set, one of the best of the clay court season, in my opinion. No mistakes, high intensity, winners, playing long. In the second, still good… Then, of course, Richard is a great player. He had some good serves in the next game, and then it was tough.”

On Norrie: 

“Every week he's making good results, winning against very good players. I know it is going to be a tough one. I need to be ready to play my best. I know he has a style of game that is not easy to play against. I need to play well.”
