I came out playing extremely well, ... I served well, got off to a good start and David wasn't on the top of his game at the beginning. |
I can hang with any player, ... I shouldn't be intimidated or afraid to walk on the court with anybody. It definitely enlightens the future for me. |
I didn't know a thing about him, I had to feel my way. |
I didn't realize that if I didn't win that first-round match, I might have had to get a wild card into the Open. That was a good wake-up call. |
I don't know what's going on right now. I'm a little foggy, a little dizzy. It's crazy. Crazy! |
I got motivated again, |
I hope I'm more notable for my tennis than being with [Driver]. That was just a little fling, and that's over with. Now I think I'm making my name with tennis. That's what I'm here to do. |
I hope that I can do something at the U.S. Open. That's what I'm preparing myself for with this summer sequence. And I've had a good run so far. I'm confident, I just need to keep the ball rolling from here. |
I never played him before and mentally I wasn't into the match in the first set. I was thinking a lot. Things happened. But I stayed focused and hoped for good things. |
I never played too well overseas before, ... This is a good result to get to the semifinals of a Masters Series, especially in Europe. I've been working hard on my game, and it's paying off right. |

I played pretty poorly. I didn't like the shot selection I was picking. Nothing felt right to me. |
I served well and hit well off the ground and won the big points at the right time, |
I stayed strong mentally and physically throughout the whole match and I feel great, ... I'm just working a lot harder and every day is a great day, I'm trying to stay positive. |
I think he was a little uptight in the first few games of the first set. It was a little gusty out there ? that could have been a factor as well. |
