On days like today where it is pretty hot, you just try to get through.

I don't know if I can think that far ahead. I think it would be a little bit arrogant of me to think ahead to the last four. Right now I'm just focused on the first round.

I felt good from the start. I controlled the beginning of each set and that was pretty much it.

I think I would have beaten most people today but credit where it's due, he played a very good match. The shots he was able to come up with were very good. I was surprised that he was able to lean in and hit some of the backhands. ... I haven't seen that before.

I wasn't expecting him to serve that big. He was up in the upper 130s and served a very high percentage, ... There was definitely a feeling-out process in the beginning of the match.

I haven't played much since Wimbledon. I've been staying in shape, though, and putting in a lot of work on fitness,

I'm not as optimistic about the Masters Cup as I was two days ago,

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.

I just felt like the whole time I was trying to find something as opposed to just having it, ... I normally take control of the situations more than that, whereas he was getting first strike tonight.
