He was serving well, playing really smart, taking chances on my second serve. If there's anything to fault him on it's not closing me out in the second, it's going away in the third.
He was really hitting the ball clean and big and making me feel like I was a step behind on all of my shots, ... ... It was quality tennis and the tennis stayed pretty high throughout.
He's playing a lot smarter, ... which doesn't give you those free points that make the difference.
I felt like I was playing good tennis and that's a great feeling. It's only the second match, but it's certainly a great one for me.
I'd like to play him before HE retires.
I couldn't really hit balls for a month at least due to my ankle. You come back, try to get ready in a hurry and you force it and things just don't respond if you try to do it too soon.

Everything was hurting me...to sit down, it was hurting me to stand, it was hurting me to walk. And it was just helpless. I don't like that feeling.
I feel like I've experienced every part of my game throughout this first week and I've liked the levels I've hit.
If I was coaching him, I'd fine him $100 every time he hit a groundstroke, ... In his most difficult moments, he was more awkward than I anticipated.
