I was a little embarrassed to admit how it happened. You would think a racket sport would translate. |
I was going to make him earn it, ... He was going to have to play another great set. |
I was just out of sorts. I think I was still in the locker room there in the first set. I knew it could only get better from there as far as my standard went. I think he got a little careless in the second, allowed me to settle in a little bit more. |
I was playing a lot of golf, going out a lot, enjoying Brooke's world, |
I was pleased with the way I improved over the course of the match, ... By the end of the match, I was much more comfortable. But I was a little nervous in the beginning and the ball was really flying. I was trying to go after the ball so it didn't play me, but I wasn't quite committed to letting my swing go, so I was sort of moving forward and not finishing my swing, and I was losing control of a few shots. |
I was pretty nervous coming out here today, |
I was pretty nervous coming out here today. It took me a while to settle in. But it felt good. |
I was useless, to be quite honest, as being clear on what was going on out there, |

I'd like to play him before HE retires. |
I'll eat well, put my feet up, then take a little extra time warming up. I feel surprisingly good, believe it or not. The work's done. It's just about executing. |
I'll gladly take somebody along the ride with me, |
I'll have to really step it up Friday, that's for sure. Seeing his form over the last year and a half, I'd say I'd have to be doing a lot of things well, no question about it. |
I'm enjoying her and the way I feel around her. |
I'm going to go down swinging. ... I'm sure as heck not going to go home and say I had a bad tournament. |
