There are a lot of expectations from Novak Djokovic, who was recently elected President of the ATP Player Council. Some of his fellow professionals, including former vice-president of the Player Council, Rafael Nadal shared their thoughts on Djokovic's additional responsibility.

'I do not know what they will bring, I have no idea,' said Rafael Nadal. 'I was in his same situation and I would lie if I said it has been a positive experience because it was not like this. Some things were done, but it was the same if we were not in the Player Council.

Things that really needed to change and that would have been positive, did not become reality.' Juan Monaco commented, 'Nadal is the mirror of what South Americans and Spaniards think. He tried to change so many things, suggested changes to favour South American and Spanish tennis, so have more tournaments on clay, [two-year] rankings and longer rest moments.

I speak a lot with him and when you see you propose and no one cares, you get tired. You suggest another thing and no one pays any attention, you propose a different and they keep doing the same.' Some players are not interested about the Player Council at all like Pablo Cuevas, who mentioned, 'I don't know who is the new president, nor about what they speak nor about what they spoke.

I do not attend reunions if it's not mandatory. If someone like Rafa could not make things change, what can I do? I give up before starting. They always organizers less clay-courts events. The South American swing sees now Acapulco being played on hard-court, they already spoke about Rio de Janeiro on hard-courts, Quito is on clay but it's like if you play on Mars [because of the altitude].

With my opinion, nothing will change.' Despite his disappointment for what he wasn't able to do, during his tenure, Nadal however was nothing but supportive of Djokovic. 'Anyway I am happy for Djokovic, if he is here it's because he deserves it.

I hope he can do more than what I did. After a little bit of time I resigned because I was not able to work as I would like to. If you are not able to represent well what you have to represent, it's useless [to stay there].

And I think that when I left, I was useleess. Simple.' Story by El Espanol ALSO READ: Greg Rusedski: 'Rafael Nadal won't win a Grand Slam anymore'
