It was blown up like a balloon and twice the size,
It's not like in basketball, where you run out the clock and somebody throws up a half-court shot that happens to go in and rips your heart out, ... This is a guy that's forcing me to close him out. ... He deserved that set, and outplayed me in the fourth.
This is going to be an ongoing effort,
He kept raising his game, ... He had me under a lot of pressure. He went through a stretch there where I was lucky if every third point I was in the point. I mean, he was hitting ace after ace.
has probably come on a little quicker than anticipated.
Let's be clear about something. I wasn't the winner, tennis was. I never felt I was going to win that match but somehow it just fell my way.
I think he has better options right now.
Knowing my brother there's so much in him ? it's not time,
Listen to that. How does that get old? Thanks, guys.
Just to see him out here is a great feeling, let alone watching him play so well. He's truly one of the classiest people you'll ever meet. If he's getting the better of me (Wednesday night), you know, I couldn't wish it for a better person.
I think a perfectly played drop shot is one of the prettiest to watch in the game, ... In order for the drop shot to work, somebody has to be respecting what it is you might do besides that. ... When it leaves the racket, you know if you've done it or not.
I threw myself in with eagerness and desire, but it was just too much, too soon.
I just don't think you should have one unless you win it.
He was too good. I would suggest to his next opponent that he doesn't look to me for advice
