Video: Nadal, Murray Pre US Open

Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray look ahead to the US Open which starts on Monday

Rafa Nadal: “So be here winning two previous Masters 1000 is something great. In the end, it’s not great because I am confident for here. It’s great because I won two very important tournaments for me. Here is a different event. I’m going to keep trying my best, and I hope to be ready for that.”

Andy Murray: “It was nice, because last year, you know, I wasn’t in a rush to get out of here, but, you know, it was I obviously left the following day. I was so relieved that night that, you know, maybe didn’t have the chance to maybe enjoy it maybe as much as Wimbledon or the Olympics, for example. You know, I don’t know, there was so much relief last year that I wasn’t necessarily enjoying it as much as I should have. So when I came back and practiced on the Arthur Ashe court, you know, the memories came back, and that was nice.”

Andy Murray: “I think there is less pressure. I think before the first match and probably anything before the first match there will be nerves there I expect to be pretty nervous because it’s a new experience and it’s different. But I think once the tournament gets going, I don’t think it changes. I don’t think it changes too much. There was a lot of pressure on me for a lot of years to win a Grand Slam, and then same sort of thing at Wimbledon. I wouldn’t imagine it would be the same here.”
