ahead arrogant bit far focused last
I don't know if I can think that far ahead. I think it would be a little bit arrogant of me to think ahead to the last four. Right now I'm just focused on the first round.
bit came cup davis definitely diligence due felt last played prepare quick ready time
I feel more prepared. Last year, you know, I didn't - we played Davis Cup in December, so by the time this came around it felt pretty quick to me. I definitely feel like I did more due diligence this year, was a little more ready to go and had a little bit more time to prepare on my terms.
attention coming hold last pressure shown wimbledon year
He's shown that he can hold up to the pressure really well, like at Wimbledon last year. But this year at Wimbledon he has no idea what's coming with the attention he's going to get.
clay coming evident felt good grass last match transition week
I felt pretty good coming off of last weekend. The transition coming off grass last week to clay was pretty evident in this match but I thought if I could get through this one I'd be all right.

ball came court felt guy hit last ripping thinking tonight winners
It's just a little frustrating right now. I felt like tonight I actually hit the ball better than I have over the last two weeks. I came off the court not really thinking I did a whole lot wrong. The guy was pretty much ripping winners from all angles.

First round of the U.S. Open, the last time that happened I was 17. It's not something I expected. You know, I just felt like I was going to have a pretty good run here.
feels guess hope last playing position team third
I guess I'm the one in the right place at the right time. I always play first on the last day. I like playing on the third day, and my team has always put me in position to come through.before. It feels good. I just hope I can keep it going.

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.
