I love playing at night here. The electricity is great.
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.
expecting glad low playing tomorrow
I was a little low on energy, I wasn't expecting to play back-to-back. I'll be glad to have a day off tomorrow before playing Tommy on Friday.
davis effort flag inspired lacking playing
They're not lacking in effort and heart, especially when they're playing for their country. They get really inspired to play for their flag and they give it their all, as it should be in Davis Cup.
playing served
Had I served the set out, who knows? ... But I let him back in and he started playing really well.
excited france great player
Gael is a great young player and everyone in France should be very excited about him,
highest match played quality
For two sets, I don't think I could have played better. It was the highest quality match we've played.
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.
awkward compete confidence further gained groove player second swung third
I let him get into a groove in the second set. He started getting confidence and swung from the hip. If I'd let it go any further in the third he would have gained a lot of confidence and momentum. He's an awkward player to compete against.
biggest depth draw great players
It's disappointing your biggest draw isn't here, but we have other great players here. The depth is so much better this year.
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.
played putting since staying work
I haven't played much since Wimbledon. I've been staying in shape, though, and putting in a lot of work on fitness,
playing pointless roger talking
It's pointless talking about playing Roger now. I have to get there first.
knew playing push third tough trying
I knew it was going to be tough because Tommy had been playing really well (and) ... he was trying to push that to a third set.
