bad best court good knew lived start team
This may be the best team they've had. They're underrated, but we knew they would be a good team. They lived up to their end. We got off to a bad start in singles, and our No.1 and No. 2 were off the court way too fast.
beat close difficult either gone good knew left match matches sure team three twice win
It was a close match and could have gone either way. It's difficult to beat a good team like Auburn twice in a week. It was 3-1 with three matches still left playing, yet we knew that we had to find a way to win one of them. For a while I wasn't sure where it was going to come from.
cool fighting gives great guys humble loses passive player screaming
He's a great player and an interesting guy. He's not like a lot of guys, out there screaming and yelling. He's passive and quiet, one of the most humble guys you'll meet. He never loses his cool and always gives us a fighting chance.
ahead capitalize certainly matches momentum serve tough
(This tournament) could serve as (a momentum builder). We certainly would like it to. We've got a lot of tough matches ahead but we have to be able to capitalize on our opportunities.
