After that break in the second set I really started serving well and put a lot of pressure on him to hold serve. I just felt like the momentum was changing a little bit. |
He just has a world of confidence. Everyone knows he's got a big game and he's talented enough to beat anybody in the world. It's just a matter for him, and he'll be the first to tell you, of putting it together consistently. |
He was my toughest opponent of the week and I had to play my best tennis to beat him, |
He's a very good counter-puncher and he passes well, ... He's a good, talented player and I am happy with the win. |
He's definitely the best player in the world and is obviously showing it, |
I can't remember the last time I won three matches in a row. Maybe the [2004] Olympics. |
I didn't expect to be here so I don't have anything to lose, ... I'm sure Nicolas would say the same thing. There's no pressure on either of us. |
I eat it all the time. It's got lots of protein. |
I think he gets it. I think it's his responsibility to promote the game. I think he enjoys being in the limelight, which is lucky, to have someone that's young like that. Some people wouldn't want to be in the spotlight like that all the time, and he handles it really well. But I think it's his responsibility to go on talk shows and promote the game as best he can. I think he's done an outstanding job. |
I think it is only a matter of time before that happens. I think some of the other guys who aren't exactly household names in tennis, but everybody is under 23. The Bryan Brothers (Mike and Bob) have done a lot to try to promote doubles, promote Davis Cup. |
I tried everything, ... I tried serving and volleying. You know, I tried coming in on a lot of balls. I tried to stay back a lot... but he had the answers. |

I will definitely be happy just being able to play (in the Open), ... Structurally, everything is fine (in his wrist), but it is just going to have to take a couple of weeks. I am down from where I was this week practicing. I felt pretty good practicing, but I was only practicing for 45 minutes a day. |

I worked really hard when I was off, because that's all I could really do. It's just a matter of putting points together and kind of remembering how I played. |
