It was some of the best energy I ever felt -- I never heard a crowd that loud. I thought it was just perfect, actually.
I not only want to play, I want to win. I am really not in the position to do that, so it's not fair to myself or the fans of tennis. I'm going to choose to just try to get my body right and keep working, look at the schedule and see what's next at that point. But right now, I'm not in a position to be out there. I'm way less than 100 percent.
I'm not going to have a lot of winners against a guy like Roger. My goal is to get a lot of errors out of him because of the breezy conditions. I wanted to control the point, but not get too risky.
I can't think of a better place for me to come out try to find my best tennis again,
Getting up two sets helps a lot because a guy can play great for two hours and, in the worst case, the match is going to be even,
I felt as the match went on I was getting more comfortable with my movement, and that's a good thing,
It's too difficult for guys to run as hard as they do over and over again,
My kids thought they were on Mars. We couldn't get a word in edgewise, but it was fun to just sit and watch them.
He's been playing well the whole year, so to come here and play a great match against him feels like a real achievement.
He was controlling the ball and controlling the pace. I pretty much got what I deserved.
