To say it (the injured hip) was 100 percent would probably be overstating it but to be able to have the time to get it better up to this point is a great sign that it will be 100 percent.
Today required a lot of concentration because it only took a mental lapse of a few seconds and the set was over. All he needs is one break and he's won the set. I couldn't afford to get too risky.
When I get asked that question, I'm just a bit numb to it really, ... All I can say is how I feel ... I don't know what's going to happen.
When I got on top, ... I think the wheels came off quickly.
Yeah, and then he stubs his toe on the way out of the stadium,
