Roger Federer once spoke about how the 2015 French Open draw favore Novak Djokovic more than Rafael Nadal.
Federer told the media:
“No, not necessarily. Total wrong debate in my opinion. The rankings reflect what happened the last 12 months. Of course if Rafa wouldn’t have been injured, you know, from Wimbledon last year or French Open last year – I don’t remember when he played his last, but – you know, he would be very close to the Top 4. If not in the top 4, maybe No. 1 or 2 in the world. Who knows? So from that standpoint I see the argument, but at the same time I think it was going to be worse for somebody else other than Rafa. I don’t think it was going to be bad for Rafa because he’s looking at defending his title whoever he has to play through. It doesn’t matter who it’s going to affect more that quarterfinal final guy. It’s going to affect Novak more in my opinion in that regard than Rafa really.”
