achievement great guys match win won
If I would have won a match when I was 17, that would have been a great achievement. Now if I don't win the tournament, you guys are going to be writing stuff,
ball felt hit shot won
I felt like I hit the ball pretty well, especially my forehand, which was the shot that essentially won me the match,
anybody anyone deserves fourth obviously playing rounds three won
Anybody who has won three rounds obviously deserves to be there. He's obviously playing very confidently right now. Fourth round, you don't take anyone lightly, that's for sure.

I didn't play that badly - plus eight in winners to errors - I looked and I won more total points. I think I would have beaten most people today, but credit where it's due - he played a very good match.

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.

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?

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.
