enjoy florida home lake tennis time
I don't think about tennis 24/7. I enjoy time on the lake at my Florida home and just being lazy on the sofa.
draw easily either extended four game good lucky sets
I don't think it was a good draw for either of us, ... Fortunately I got a little lucky there. I could easily have been extended to four sets and it's anybody's game then.
allow believe best body brain figure game interests needs people solution surgeon takes time
I don't think it takes a brain surgeon to figure out why a lot of people are getting hurt. I believe it's in the best interests of the game for them to come up with an off-season to give us time to recover. You can't play if your body won't allow you. A solution needs to be found.
draw good great
I don't think it's a great draw for me, but at the same time, its probably not a good draw for him either.
highest match played quality
For two sets, I don't think I could have played better. It was the highest quality match we've played.
angles biggest head hit hitting normally serve serves serving teach weapon
His serve is probably the biggest weapon in tennis, ... You can't teach being 6-foot-10. It's like he's serving out of a tree. Just the angles that he's able to create, he makes you hit his serves over your head where you're normally hitting them from around your hip.
absolutely history love next playing year
I absolutely love playing here, and to be part of history here now is incredible... I'll be back here next year for sure,
good high playing secret super
He was playing at a super high level, ... In the first set, he was going great. I don't think it's a secret he has a very good serve.
best developed last parts player playing serves
He's playing very well right now. Over the last month, he's probably the best player on the tour. He serves well and he's developed other parts of his game.
good himself plays
He never plays himself out of a point. He's very solid, he's got good energy. I like the way he plays.
ball hitting lost move ready reason regroup
But that's not the reason I lost the match. He wanted it more than I did. He is hitting the ball better than I am right now. I didn't come here ready to play. I'll regroup and move on.
bit felt shock totally
I'm a little bit in shock right now to be honest. I've never felt better going into a slam. This has totally blindsided me.
bit felt shock totally
I'm a little bit in shock right now, to be honest. I've never felt better going into a slam. This has totally blindsided me.
bigger bit goal picture
I have a little bit of a bigger picture in mind. I know the whole goal of these tournaments is to do well at the Open.
