It was good because I wanted to return well. I feel like after the first four games of the match, I really started doing that.

I don't think it was a good draw for either of us, ... Fortunately I got a little lucky there. I could easily have been extended to four sets and it's anybody's game then.

All it could take is losing one service game and you're in a fourth set.

Fernando came out playing lights-out in the first couple of sets, and I just stuck around and found a way. It was that one game when I broke in the second set. I made a couple good shots and it turned into a riot.
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.

court doubles game hands knowledge left
His hands never left, his feel never left and his knowledge of the game never left. On a doubles court that works.
allow believe best body brain figure game interests needs people solution surgeon takes time
I don't think it takes a brain surgeon to figure out why a lot of people are getting hurt. I believe it's in the best interests of the game for them to come up with an off-season to give us time to recover. You can't play if your body won't allow you. A solution needs to be found.
