I think Tim and I have been waiting for this for a decade, finally to see someone who I believe is the real deal and has proven himself already in the Grand Slams and on the tour, |
I thought the first set was really good, especially getting that early break. He's a very deceptive player. |
I tried to order some [contamination-free supplements] but didn't receive any and I haven't got any yet. |
I was really pleased, ... As I say, I had ups and downs in my career. The older you get, time passes on, people forgive and move on. It was really nice. I enjoyed the reception I got and the support from the public. It was great. |
I'm confident and we'll just have to wait and see, |
I'm going to go give it a shot, see if I can get out of it what I want, |
I'm really pleased, it was difficult conditions so to win in straight sets is always nice |
I've already spoken to a few of them and they are all wishing me well, ... But there is a lot at stake for me, too. |
I've always wanted to play well in Montreal, |
I've been through a lot, physically and emotionally, over the last few years. |
I've got a lot of experience and in the third set I started to play really well. I wanted to get off to a good start and it puts a little less pressure on Alex/ |
I've got one more Challenger in the Ukraine and it would be great to get the top ranking, but if not then I'll do it in 2006, |
I've had a tough last two or three years. Now I'm trying to make the most of it. I'm just going to keep playing and keep going as long as I can because it's better than being in the real world. |
I've had overwhelming support from my friends and family. |
If you could have written the worst draw for me then this was it, |
