Tonight was one of those nights where you feel like you're on the verge of playing well,
fight matches maybe playing stuff throw tonight verge win
Tonight is the kind of night where you feel you're on the verge of playing well, but then I'd throw in some errors, ... It was one of those see-saw matches that you kind of fight through and win stuff you feel is maybe not your best.

Luckily, I had some great serves when I needed to.

I was sitting there in May not really playing much after the French, kind of deciding what route I wanted to go, ... I didn't really expect to finish up so strong. To have a Grand Slam title and then the Champions Race No. 1 trophy as well, it's been a ride since then.
