But this tournament does not matter much, because here are the best players in the world and the conditions are completely different. I always enjoy playing in Madrid, I have played in the finals the past two years and I hope to keep myself in a good shape.`

`While Rafa is playing, he will always be the favorite on clay, because he is the best in the history of this flooring, and with a big lead over everyone else. One loss or another will not change this. Aside from him, there is a small group of players who can go far in any glue tournament and I am in that group.`

`Roger, on the other hand, is one of the best pavements of all time, and only Rafa has stopped him with even more trophies. If it wasn`t for Rafa, Roger would have had 5-6 Roland Garros titles. But even now he has a very good career on red courts. He knows how to take care, grew up in glue in Switzerland, and is also among the favorites in every tournament predicted by atp rankings he participates in!`, Thiem said.
