Pavel is a very good player, ... We have had some close battles in the past. |
So you don't have too much time to let it sink in. Obviously, I'm feeling very happy, and I'm really proud of myself. But you know, you look ahead again and try to do something again that you want to achieve. |
Sometimes miracles happen out there. You hope for that. I wasn't that fortunate tonight. I didn't have control of what I was doing out there. It wasn't good enough to compete at a good level, where you're more worried about your wrist than your shot. |
The break in the third set changed the complexion of things. With the crowd behind him, he's playing confident tennis. |
The conditions were tough but there were some really good rallies. |
The conditions were tough but there were some really good rallies. I served well when I needed to. It was an important match to get back into a final. |
The long delay is not something you look forward to. I hung around and didn't know what to do. You just have to try and deal with it. |
There are only a few players that I think can probably have a chance against Roger if he is playing his best. |
There were a few things I could have done better in the first set, especially by using my chances. I was having trouble with break points early on and wasn't converting them. That's a tough situation. |
There were a lot of different emotions involved in playing someone you get on so well with off the court, |
This guy right now is pretty much the man to beat. If somebody can do it this week, great. I think I pushed him as much as I could today. You've got to tip your hat and just say, 'Unbelievable. |
This is definitely a good victory, not only for my own confidence but the game, and gives me good hopes next week. |
This place will always hold a special place in my heart. This court suits me well and it is a nice place to play. |
This was definitely a good victory. It gives me good hope to hopefully play well next week. |
We've had some tough battles in the past, and once again tonight, it was a good fight. The last chance I really had at 5-4 was to break him, otherwise it's over. I felt like I picked it up a notch and focused a little bit more, and had a good finish. |
