He even shared how Nadal never takes his success for granted and takes each and every match seriously.

“If you met him (Rafael Nadal) in the street, you would have no idea that he had won 21 Grand Slams, because he’s very humble, and never gets ahead of himself. He always takes every match and every day seriously,” said the Miami Open finalist.
