I wasn't feeling that great towards the end of the first set, |
I would say it was not a dirty hit, but it was probably uncalled for in a game like this. We know tht Jeremy had [Gauthier] lined up in Phoenix and backed off on him on a similar-type situation where he could have hurt him. I wouldn't say this was even a penalty, but there are some things that don't have to happen in a game like this. Our track record hasn't been great with these types of injuries, but we're hoping he's back right away. |
I'd probably live a few years longer if we had more of them. |
I'd probably live a few years longer if we had more of them. We knew it was imperative to get off to a good start and we certainly had some jump in our step. We were skating. We are afraid of being embarrassed here if we didn't play hard. |
I'd say right now going into the season we're looking at 164 points. Because if we are playing 82 games, we better expect to win them all right now or there's no sense playing them. If I was to tell you 100 points, then that would mean we are prepared to lose some games, and before the year starts, I'm not prepared to say that. |
I'd seen him play a couple of times and he's a good player. |
I'd seen him play a couple of times and he's a good player. He hasn't made any mistakes early on in the rally, so I had to play five or six shots to win most of them. |
I'll be fired up tomorrow because if I expect my team to be energized and ready to go to work, I'd better make sure I'm energized myself. I've got some friends who are in the car business here, and I'm not ready to get back into that business yet, so I want to keep coaching. |
I'm a bit disappointed because I thought I was serving as well as I did in the other matches, |
I'm not expected to win, but if I play like I did today I think I've got a very good chance. I would like to get through to the final and play my first ATP final against the best player in the world. |
I'm pretty disappointed with the way I played, ... But I'm 18 and I got to the quarterfinals of an ATP tournament. You have to look at the positive. |

I'm pretty happy with myself, I've played well the last few months and I think I deserve it. |
I've already shown that my game is pretty good by beating Roddick and Hewitt, but this is a bigger tournament. I'd like to win a few matches, but I'm not expected to do great. |
I've been working hard on my composure, trying not to show much emotion. |
