He is capable of playing top-level tennis and he showed that today. Isn't that what Davis Cup is all about? You guys are so happy, we are a little bit disappointed. Chris Guccione is the new hero. |
I didn't get the chance to play against Andy in Davis Cup when they beat us, ... In a way, this was a revenge. |
I play my best game in Rotterdam. |
I still consider him a top-five player. People expect so much of him now. But the game is so competitive, and him not winning a title does not mean he's playing any worse. |
I've seen Daniel over the years so many times that I know what his game presents. It's going to be a matter of executing my gameplan and taking the opportunities when they come. |
It will depend how the matches go. We're not sure yet. |
It's so nice to get quick matches in the heat. |
It's so nice to get quick matches in the heat. I thought I handled it well in the heat - I'm very happy with my performance. |
The win in the first-set tiebreaker predetermined the result of the match. Since then, the game was tense but we controlled it. |
There is something about the size of the balls that is not making me comfortable. They aren't friendly. |
We like being together. We like the fact that we're part of a team when we play Davis Cup and we're looking forward to the tie. |
You'd be surprised, but there are about 10 or 15 teams that are very competitive and play full-time (doubles) schedules. Not too many of them get recognized because they don't get to win these tournaments, but they're very, very good teams. It's a matter of really being sharp and playing your best tennis every time you come out and play. But the Top 15 teams are very, very dangerous on any given day. |
