Intro:

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic reflected on their wins at the French Open on Monday, which set up an enticing quarter-final between the pair.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Novak Djokovic, defeated Richard Gasquet 6-1, 6-2, 6-3:(Q. Rafa said it was going to be the toughest quarter-final he's ever had here, but not a final. He emphasised that. I'm wondering how you're approaching this. You played him five or six times here without success. Does this feel different?)

"Playing him here and playing him in any other tournament in the world is completely different. Conditions are very suitable to his style of the game. He loves playing on Chatrier (Court Philippe Chatrier). We will see. I never won against him at Roland Garros, but in the other hand I was close a couple of times. And the fact that I have a great season this year and I'm feeling good from every aspect of my game allows me to have belief and reason to, you know, to go on the court and try to win."

SOUNDBITE (English) Novak Djokovic, defeated Richard Gasquet 6-1, 6-2, 6-3:(Q. Do you think it makes it psychologically easier that you have played him a lot and you will play him again? How do you approach it as a quarter-final? You have to give a lot more after that to win the title if you get through.)

"I know what to do. I mean, I know what's expecting me. I have played him so many times, and the player that I have played against the most in my life. We played here, as you said, five, six times before. So I know what I need to do to have a chance to win. Doesn't mean that I will win. You know, the future is unpredictable. It's something you can't influence. I can get myself in the right state of mind and prepare well and get on the court and give my best."
