JR: What is your favorite thing about being on the tour?
AF: That I get to travel and see all of the countries in the world.
JR: How has your newly found fame and recognition affect you when you go back to your country?
AF: I don’t think I have any fame (he laughs) and I really don’t leave my house when I am home.
JR: If you could play one player who has retired who would be?
AF: Federer for sure because I have not even practiced with him or played with him.
JR: Currently, who do you think is the hardest person to play?
AF: I would say Carlos because he has all of the weapons.
JR: If Nadal played Federer next week on clay, who would win?
AF: Initially I would say Rafa, but I don’t know if he is healthy at the moment, so I think I would go with Federer.
