further momentum third tough
If I would have let it go a little further in the third set, he would have had a lot of momentum and it would have been tough for me.
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.
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.
bad balls beginning change good momentum point second side stretch third time
I had a really bad stretch in the second set. I was dumping balls at one point. He had momentum on his side at that point and I thought it would be a good time to try and change it at the beginning of the third set.
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.
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.
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 ...
electricity love night playing
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.
champion great left roger tough
It's tough but I left nothing out there and Roger is a great champion.
battle coming expecting huge nice
I was coming in expecting just a huge battle and, you know, it's always nice when things go your way,
