He told me yesterday, 'If you win, be careful with your neck. He said, 'Sleep on the same pillow and don't open the windows. |
He was definitely going for the short ball. That's what makes him so special. He goes for shots nobody else does. It's just one more way for him to win a point. |
He's a little weird, ... He can play great or he can play horrible. He's spoiled. I think he'll grow as a person, but right now, he's a kid and he's acting as a kid. |
He's not struggling — he's just not in top shape, |
He's not struggling — he's just not in top shape. Today I felt like, for the first time I was the best player on the court. I feel really upset because I thought I deserved this one. |

I am tired, I am very tired, |
I consider myself a top five player in the world, which doesn't mean that I'm close to Roger. I think he's really much better than I am, and probably anyone else. |
I consider myself a top-five player but that doesn't mean I'm close to Roger. |
I couldn't return anything. In the third set, maybe he was thinking about the title. Then he had a medical time-out for his thigh and that allowed him to relax. But I had a great week. |
