bit break felt game good played returns
I felt like I had a little bit of a momentum, and then he played a pretty good game to break me. He put a lot of returns in off my first serve.
break control corner felt match playing today tough turned
My getting that break was tough on him, ... I felt like I was in control of the match at that point. Today I felt like I turned the corner to playing well. I felt good, feel like I'm in a groove.
break enforce gave second
I have to be aggressive. I had to enforce myself on him and not give him as many chances. That's what gave me the break in the second set.
break games happy held second service
The first set went pretty routine. The second set it was closer, but in two of the service games that he held I think I had break points. I'm just happy to get through.
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.
forth friend good incredibly loyal room
I think everyone in this room would say that you're an incredibly loyal guy, a good friend and so forth ...
electricity love night playing
I love playing at night here. The electricity is great.
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.
chicks
I've got some chicks out there, he's got some sweaty dudes.
calls care decision drive front good people stupid wrong
I think the good thing about challenging calls is they have to be accountable for something, which used to drive me up the wall. Before, they could make a decision and not really care about it. At least they look stupid in front of 15,000 people now if they make the wrong call. That's more fun, right?
worse
I got out there and it was just stiff. It got progressively worse the more I moved. I just didn't feel real comfortable for the whole match.

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