apparent break checked competing except fine mad mental middle people third until watching
It's just frustration. We've all been there, except I have people watching when I break something. I'm mad with the way I played. I was competing well, then just let it get away for no apparent reason. I was fine until I just went mental at the end. I just checked out in the middle of the third set.
ball came court felt guy hit last ripping thinking tonight winners
It's just a little frustrating right now. I felt like tonight I actually hit the ball better than I have over the last two weeks. I came off the court not really thinking I did a whole lot wrong. The guy was pretty much ripping winners from all angles.
best expect gotten seems stuff
It seems like he's gotten his form, ... I'll expect his best stuff tomorrow.
almost court follow four games glad good high percentage pressure return returns serve service
It was good 'cause I wanted to return well. I feel like after the first four games of the match, I really started doing that. I put a high percentage of returns in the court and put pressure on him almost every service game. And if I can do that, it will make my serve look that much better to the other guys. I'm glad I was able to follow through on our game plan.
four games good return
It was good because I wanted to return well. I feel like after the first four games of the match, I really started doing that.
afraid dork drop fell felt glad hands
It was easy, I could put my hands there and it fell in. It felt soft. I was afraid I'd drop it. If I had I'd have been the dork but he put it right on the money. I'm just glad I could come up with it.
ask court interest kindness people presence
It's kind of like a tightrope, ... You have a presence because of what you do between the lines. I don't want people to think I'm just out there doing things like, 'Look at me: I'm a big deal.' But then you go back and ask yourself, 'Am I doing enough away from the court to keep the interest there in the sport?'
almost happy hard sort trying unprepared wing work
It's almost like you work so hard and almost try too hard. Before I'd come out almost unprepared and sort of wing it. I'm trying to find a happy medium. Hopefully, things will go up from here.
against good last matches played row since
It's good. I feel like I played well two matches in a row here against pretty good players. I haven't done that probably since last fall.
against best claim guy stuck
It's frustrating. I'm just getting stuck against the guy who's staking his claim to being the best ever. You think about that sometimes -- that you're getting better, but so is he.
chicks
I've got some chicks out there, he's got some sweaty dudes.
good great start
It was a great way to start off, ... It was a pretty good all around performance.
best brother consider cup davis good people single team yours
It's what some people consider the best single Davis Cup team ever with (Jim) Courier, Agassi; (Pete) Sampras was on the team, but he wasn't good enough to play singles. That's how good this team was. Some brother of yours was there, too.

It's tough but I left nothing out there and Roger is a great champion.
