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 ...
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?
chose good optimistic practice surprise week
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.
bucks dealer excited good
I was down in blackjack, now I'm up 600 bucks so I'm pretty excited about that. My dealer was Alfie, and he was being good to me the other night.
couple days good leaving playing tennis tournament verge
I feel a lot better leaving this tournament than I did a couple of days before this tournament. I feel like I'm on the verge of playing really good tennis again.
couple felt good morning soon woke
I woke up this morning and felt OK. But as soon as I started moving, it really stiffened up. After a couple of games, I didn't feel so good about my chances.
becoming gearing good self toward training worry
I think you have to be self-motivated enough first and foremost. You know, I'm gearing my training toward becoming better with everyone. I'm not good enough to worry about one guy. I have to worry about a whole lot of guys.
birthday felt good run totally wish
I wish I didn't have a birthday during this tournament. This has totally blindsided me. I just felt like I would have a pretty good run here.
draw good great
I don't think it's a great draw for me, but at the same time, its probably not a good draw for him either.
feeling good match serve
I don't want to get too high-and-mighty about my serve because I still have one match to go. But I am feeling good about it this week.
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.
beginning controlled felt good
I felt good from the start. I controlled the beginning of each set and that was pretty much it.
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.
four games good return
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.
