bad decided exception felt harder hit third
With the exception of a bad four-game stretch, I competed really well. I felt I did a lot of things well. In the third set I decided to try to take it to him more and hit harder and deeper.
except felt good
I felt pretty good all the way around, except for that first game.
caught everybody except focus good job kept surprising task teams worrying
It's not surprising that teams get into it, that's part of the whole team competition. I thought I did a good job of not getting too caught up in it. Everybody kept worrying about everything except what was going on the court. I was able to take it back and focus on the task at hand.
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.

asked came chair changing clothes good guess referee save shoe tie umpire
I was changing my clothes. Then the referee came and started getting on me about changing my clothes, so that was fun. You know, asked him if he wanted to tie one shoe for me, and I could tie the other one, we could just save time. I guess that wasn't a good idea. But, no, I mean, I was just changing my clothes. I told the chair umpire I was going to.

I think we all need to realize how lucky we are to be heal-thy,

I think everyone in this room would say that you're an incredibly loyal guy, a good friend and so forth ...

I stopped thinking about that (defeat) a while ago. I'm not going to carry that with me for a long time.
beaten credit good hit lean people played seen shots surprised today
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.
instead played playing reactive took
I thought he played great, let's get that out there right now. He really took it to me so I was playing reactive instead of active.
maybe played second sets third
I thought I played maybe better in the second and third sets than I did in the first set,
