I hope to have a physical advantage, but I don't think it will matter. |
I hoped it would be easier obviously. I was playing quite passively and got caught up in that. I guess my experience got me through. |
I just had a sort of strange feeling, not a negative one. I knew how close I was to another Grand Slam, and worked so hard to get there. To lose in the semis would be a big disappointment. |
I just played a real solid match. I started off really well, didn't miss much. I didn't give him much chance to get in the match, didn't give him too many balls to hit. |
I knew before the match that Marcos is a tough player to beat. I am now getting a feel for the big games. |
I knew beforehand it was going to be a tough match because he's been playing well. |
I knew he was very good player and the conditions were tough with a heavy court and a lot of bad bounces but I hit the ball pretty well. |
I knew I had to return well today and get him to work hard on his serve if I was to win. |
I know he's so tough, |
I know there is no need to panic when I'm behind. I have confidence in my ability. |
I like playing guys who have beaten me early in my career, [to] try to get back at them. I think it will be interesting to see how both of us have improved. |
I like to be pushed like this. I'm happy I had a tough one now and I'm still in the tournament. |
I like to play against guys who have beaten me, especially early in the career, try to get them back, ... He was a tough opponent for me for a long, long time. |
I lost the last two times I played him, once on clay, once on hard. He knows how to beat me. |
I never panic. I think that's the key in the end. You've got to believe in your game. |
