I'm very happy, a win is a win. The first match is always tough. It's just good to get back out on the court and get that monkey off my shoulders. |
In the big picture, I think it's a good thing [for Murray]. He obviously had a lot of hype going into Wimbledon after his Queen's effort, and I think it's a good thing to go back to basics a little bit and win three tough qualifying matches. |
It can only get better and things can't happen overnight, the only thing I can do is just keep working hard and I know it's going to happen. |
It definitely makes me feel very good, it's pretty much been the hard work I've been putting in and it's paying off. Everything's starting to come now and I know that, so I just need to be patient and keep working at it. If I keep working the way I am then the results will come. |
It was a little ugly, but a win's a win, |
It was a long day, but it ended up well so I'm happy. The hard work is paying off. I've just got to be patient and keep working at it. |
It was hard to enjoy the tennis (last year) and to be quite honest I didn't. I just wanted the year to end and that's why I took two months off. |
It was the first match back after a while. I think the key was just to come in there with just a positive mind and try and have a good start, keep on my toes. Obviously, I haven't played for a while, so I was just eager to be out there. |
It's been a few months where I've been watching that match sometimes and try to think back on how I felt on the court, what I was thinking, |
It's not like I've got too much pride to play Challengers, ... It's all mental. I've been working hard off the court, very hard. Definitely lacking confidence. It's definitely what I'm lacking. |
It's not like I've got too much pride to play challengers. It's ridiculous. Of course if I have to do that, then I have to do that, |
It's the Davis Cup and it's not like you have got another Davis Cup next week. |
It's the normal thing to do and I was living, you know, other guy's dreams that they dream of and you're in a position to live that life. Why not do it? And I got it out of my system and I've realized that they're not the most important things in life. |
Obviously, I'll do whatever it takes to get back, |
This win is a result of all the hard work I've been putting in. If I stay patient and keep working, I know the results will come. |
