almost court follow four games glad good high percentage pressure return returns serve service
It was good 'cause I wanted to return well. I feel like after the first four games of the match, I really started doing that. I put a high percentage of returns in the court and put pressure on him almost every service game. And if I can do that, it will make my serve look that much better to the other guys. I'm glad I was able to follow through on our game plan.

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.

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.

That's not a surprise (that the Belgians chose clay), ... But it's fine. I think we had a good week of practice and we're optimistic about this weekend.
match quality rub
It would have been unprofessional, ... You don't want that quality of a match to end like that. You would not want to rub it in people's faces.

They're a tough team. For the first time in a while, we're not the favorites going in. It will be a tough one, and cold as well.
