The only thing I don't like about this job is the travelling but here I don't have to. I sleep in my own bed, I have dinner with my mum or my friends and I feel at home on the court too. |
The rain delay helped me, ... My coach gave me some advice. I regrouped and came back more focused. |
The ups and downs are going be everywhere no matter what sport you're in, no matter what profession you're in, |
Then you get to come, basically, home. It's a great feeling before the Open. |
There are definitely times since I've been back that I just kind of look up and take five extra seconds before I serve. This is what I was dreaming of just a couple of years ago, to come back and feel this feeling again. |
There's no way I would have believed that I'd be playing a legend like Andre Agassi in the quarter-finals on Wednesday at the Open. |
There's still a few of them left. |
They're going to have fun whether I win or lose, ... and that takes a lot of pressure off me. |
This couldn't have been better preparation for that match, ... He (Lopez) has one of if not the best lefty serves out there. If he doesn't, Rusedski probably does. I am looking at the two best lefty serves back to back and getting a win against one could correlate to getting a win (against) another. |
This is a dream come true. |
This is a great exclamation point. But in my mind, I've been back, |
This is the first time I've had success in Europe, previously I've only done well in the States and maybe in Australia. |
This one definitely ranks up there. I've been on tour six years and this is my fifth title - it's not like it happens everyday. |
This summer is a little better than last summer, ... I can actually sit here without feeling I am going to fall off the chair. I can actually smile, and, yeah, I definitely feel so much better and I am enjoying it a whole lot. And it does put a few things in perspective and I am just so happy to be playing and now that it is going well and I feel like I'm healthy. I feel like things are starting to go my way, it's such a good feeling. |
This was the most fun I've had losing, |
