In an interview to La Vanguardia, the former world No. 5 Tommy Robredo commented on the Big Three dominance. "The most surprising thing is that there are the three greatest players in tennis now. Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.

It's not surprising because it's usual. But to see three players like them combined in the same era, and the difference that they set with the others, that's impressive. People see it as normal but it's not like this", said Robredo.

On the Spanish tennis after Nadal retirement, he added: "Was it empty when Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and Conchita Martinez left? Obviously, once Nadal steps away, a person with all that he won, you will note it."

On the reasons why he keeps playing tennis, he concluded: "There are 80-year-old people who play in clubs too, so why not? I play because I like tennis, I like the competition and I like the level I am training at, although recently it has not been going very well, I am excited that I can enjoy tennis."

David Ferrer admitted last year that he would have enjoyed some of his wins more. Robredo shared a similar thought this week speaking to Punto de Break. The former world No. 5 said: "Enjoying wins is one of the problems in the world of sports, specifically in tennis.

I remember winning a Conde de Godo and the day after going to play Rome. I flew at 6:00 AM, instead, I would have enjoyed the night with my friends and then I would take a Flight at 7:00. And if I come later and I do not have time to practice, nothing happens, I will warm up 45 minutes before the match and let's see what happens.

Or I do not even go to Rome. In the end, you get used to losing because you lose every week. You win a tournament, you go to another and you know that you will lose, not everyone is like Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer who win for a lot of weeks."
