Q. Novak's on 98 titles as we speak, so not bad. Firstly, if he gets to 100, he'll join Federer and Connors as the only players to do that. How big of an achievement do you think that will be? You have played him in your fair share of finals before. How tough is he to play in those finals and those matches?

ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, obviously unbelievably tough. You know, and then the sort of middle, latter stage of his career, you know, I think even stronger.

I have obviously played lots of finals against him and it was extremely difficult for me even when we'd sort of grown up together and had a lot of experience of playing against him in major competitions. But I think with what he's gone on to achieve, you know, in the last five or six years, I think for some of the younger players coming through to be stepping into playing a final of a Masters Series or a Grand Slam and he's on the other side of the net when he's won, you know, 24 majors and, like you say, 98 titles, it's not easy when you have limited experience in those situations and, you know, you're standing across the net from a guy who's won as much as he has. That's really difficult.

I felt that a bit early on like when I played Roger in my first US Open final or when I was playing Rafa in the latter stages of events when I was quite young. Yeah, it's not the same, not the same as playing them in the quarterfinals or semifinal. And I certainly think that for the younger guys now, when it's Novak on the other side of the net, you know, really, really difficult for them to win against him, not just from the tennis side where, you know, he's obviously exceptional, but I think from the mental side, as well, because he's done it all, whereas a lot of the younger players coming through haven't.
