advance against balls clean conditions days difference five good hopefully huge obviously playing switching
Hopefully it will make a big difference, ... Switching balls is a little thing, but it makes a big difference when you're playing against such good players. I didn't feel clean with anything I was doing up there in Montreal. Obviously getting here and getting used to the conditions four, five days in advance will make a huge difference.
ball content knowing poke stay
I think that's a big key, at least knowing that they have to do something with the ball and I'm not just going to kind of poke it back and be content to stay in rallies.
aspect ball felt game good hitting success
I felt comfortable with every aspect of my game out there. I was hitting the ball pretty good and getting a lot of success with the slice.

I was kind of playing catch-up there in the second set. But I actually feel I hit the ball better in the second set than the first.
afraid ball hitting movement played plays shot stretched today whether
I don't know whether it was his movement or hitting the ball on the run. He's not afraid to be stretched out. If he plays like he played today he's got a shot (against Hewitt).
ball harder hit key start
At the start of the third, I was able to hit the ball harder and deeper. That was key for me.
ball clean felt good hitting losing points
I felt good because, you know, even the points I was losing, I felt like I was losing them on my terms. I thought I was hitting the ball big and attacking. It felt clean today.
ball control felt putting struggling
I felt like I was in control of everything out there, ... I wasn't struggling through points. I was putting the ball where I wanted.

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.
bad balls beginning change good momentum point second side stretch third time
I had a really bad stretch in the second set. I was dumping balls at one point. He had momentum on his side at that point and I thought it would be a good time to try and change it at the beginning of the third set.
ball bite court seemed service
It just seemed like I couldn't get the ball to go through the court like I would have liked. It was difficult. I wasn't getting much bite on my service action. It was frustrating.
