A lot of times, he was talking before the point was over, and I asked (the chair umpire) if he could do that. A lot of times before they made the call, (Murray) was screaming, 'Yes!' I didn't like it. After the call is made, he can cheer as much as he can. But not before that. |
He was simply too good. I didn't play my best match of the tournament. I still think the way I played today, I could've beaten a lot of guys in this tournament. But he was just too good. |
His first serve was very good. He's got a good game when he's playing his best but he'll have to return extremely well when he meets Roddick. |
I definitely need some rest. This was a tough one. I can already feel it. |
I feel really strong now. |
I played, really, probably, one of my best matches ever. I was hitting as hard as I could and I couldn't miss. I wish it would always be like this. |
I was the better player for almost two sets, but after that point, he didn't miss many first serves and he's wasn't missing much of anything. You have to hit winners against him all the time. |
It's going to be a tough match. Roddick is serving well. At the same time, Murray is returning extremely well. |
It's just a great feeling. I think we both played amazing tennis. He came up with some great shots on my match points, and all the important points he played really well. I'm really happy to get through this one. |
The difference between today and last week was that I served a lot better, especially in the first set. |
