His serve is a joke. Sometimes it doesn't matter how you return. He can ace you out of a game. If he's hitting his spots, serving at 140 mph from that angle, there's not much you can do except say 'good serve' and move on and not get frustrated. I have to focus on holding serve like I did today. |
His serve obviously gives him a lot of confidence. I think I had about five chances to break in the match and didn't get near any of them. It's frustrating to deal with because it makes you feel under pressure when you serve. |
Hopefully the maintenance crew won't have as much to do on the court after the first match here. Andy actually came up with that joke, so I blame him. This is the first time my name has been picked. I'm usually second. But playing first, it should be fun. |
I am definitely flattered and humbled any time I can put my name in the same sentence as Arthur Ashe. |
I am excited to be a part of such an elite group of athletes. Andre and I had such a memorable match at the U.S. Open, and it will be great to play with him once again in Idaho. This will be fun. |
I am good friends with his brother Kevin and PGATour.com is one of the favorites on my computer so I can check out how he is doing, ... It is fun to see Fairfield High guys (make a name for themselves). |
I am just going to try riding the wave until I wake up. |
I am just so happy to be playing and now that it is going well and I feel like I'm healthy, ... I feel like things are starting to go my way, it's such a good feeling. |
I am proud to say that I feel like I have a chance to contend for a major for the first time in my life. |
I brought that up just about every 20 minutes of the match. 'Yeah, good call, it's going to go quick.' |
I came out here and played pretty well from the start so I'm pretty excited. |
I can't believe how well things are going, ... I can't say enough how much this is a dream come true. |
I can't believe how well things are going. I am waiting for the alarm clock to go off and I'm going to wake up, but I don't want to. |
I can't stop smiling right now, ... If I could play here every tournament, I would never retire. |
I could not have dreamed a better ending than this week, ... Everything clicked. I was feeling good all time. |
