felt hopefully kicking looked ok ready second
I'm doing OK I hope. I only felt it at about 5-all in the second set. He was already kicking my butt before that. I'm going to get it looked at and hopefully it will be ready for New York.
awkward compete confidence further gained groove player second swung third
I let him get into a groove in the second set. He started getting confidence and swung from the hip. If I'd let it go any further in the third he would have gained a lot of confidence and momentum. He's an awkward player to compete against.
against apply lose mind solely
I made adjustments with him in mind. You have to make adjustments in mind and apply them to (Federer) and not lose what you're doing against other people. I still have to find a way to get there. (The adjustments) wasn't solely for him, but a lot of it was done with him in mind. I think that's the pressure, to his credit, that he has put on all of the guys.
bit loving sure
I'm sure with a little bit of TLC (tender loving care) it'll be okay.
came goods
He came up with the goods -- so, well done. He just outplayed me.
assumption easy people week
But I'm through and I'm going to keep battling. A lot of people are under the assumption that it's easy to play well every week and it's not.
couple days good leaving playing tennis tournament verge
I feel a lot better leaving this tournament than I did a couple of days before this tournament. I feel like I'm on the verge of playing really good tennis again.
coming guess shoot tournament
I feel a lot better about myself after this tournament than I did coming in, so I guess that's what you shoot for.
feeling good match serve
I don't want to get too high-and-mighty about my serve because I still have one match to go. But I am feeling good about it this week.
grew hot mind
I don't mind the heat. I grew up in some hot places.
against ask catch match tim
If I'm being honest, not a lot. We're going to have to do some scouting. I was able to catch a little of the match against Tim today, but I'm going to try to ask around.
angry call correct ok situation sure
I can't be angry about it, because the right call was made. I'm sure there are going to be times when it's going to be the situation reversed, and I think you're OK with it as long as you know the correct call is being made.
bit match playing plus point serving staying trying win worried
I can still play better. I'm playing a lot calmer now. I'm not worried about trying to win every point or win the match in every point. I'm kind of just staying a little bit even keel, and I'm serving 10 times better than I have been this year, which is a big, big plus for me.
heard looks name seen serve
I'd heard his name before but I'd never seen him play. I said, 'I've seen that serve before, it looks familiar.'
