"Rafa could otentially win up to 15 times," Kuerten said. "Two years ago, nobody really thought he would ever win a Grand Slam again, especially Roland Garros.

Well, I think he's back, and he's a favourite, as he was a favourite during his best years. So it is very possible, and I think we need to thank him, because he has been a role model," he added.
