But the two will not meet until the semifinals, if both players get that far. Nadal, seeded sixth, is on the same half of the draw as Djokovic in the Australian Open. He said he respected Djokovic as a "person and as an athlete" even if he did "not agree with a lot of things (Djokovic) did the last couple of weeks." "I wish him all the very best," Nadal said, adding he had a "good relationship" with Djokovic during his career. When asked about the situation surrounding Djokovic, and what it could mean for his legacy, Nadal said he didn't know. Nadal said the tournament would be great "with or without" Djokovic. "It's very clear that Novak Djokovic is one of the best players," Nadal said, but added the Australian Open is "much more important than any player." That includes himself, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, he said. Rafael Nadal told reporters in Melbourne on Saturday that no one player is more important than the Australian Open.
