After the second set, I felt like I had good momentum going into the third set. But he made adjustments in the third set. He made me play every point. |
I feel comfortable because I've been waiting for this. I wasn't relaxed in those final games, but I have to get used to this. I have to realize now that I'm on a stage. |
I find out that I'm going to play a player that's totally different from him. I always wanted to play him as a kid. I'm hoping I get another chance. |
I loved the crowd here both days. And I feel I have momentum going into the Open. I played two great players here. And I will face even tougher people at the Open. |
I stepped up. It gives me a lot of confidence knowing that I can be right there with the No. 2 one day. |
I was pretty nervous in the first set. I was excited (to win) but I know that this is only the first round. |
Rafael is a great player. This was a learning experience. He was what I expected, and a little more than I expected. |
This is big. I'm excited but I can't be too excited because I have another match to go tomorrow. |
