He's kind of laid back but James pulls off his share of tricks.
I thought I was serving really well. I knew when I was getting my first serve in, I wasn't losing any points. I looked a little off on the match point.
That would have been like a for-sure title.
That was Pat's strategy. That way we will have him stay home the rest of the match.
Massu and (Fernando) Gonzalez who like to stay back on the baseline. They serve and even stay back. Obviously, grass is the best situation for us; it puts them at a little bit of a disadvantage and we'd be hitting a lot of volleys and turn it into an aerial battle, which I think we could win.
We also knew that Olivier Rochus had won the doubles at the French Open . But it was logical that we won and had the match been played in the United States, it would not have taken close to three hours but an hour and a half without doubt.
We got on them really early and I was hitting my wide serve really well on the ad-court. It went well the whole time.
We're not too pleased about it. But we'll see how it goes.
We became competitors, but we didn't compete against each other. And we didn't become rivals like a lot of brothers do. We love playing doubles together where we can share the victory.
When we have energy and we're happy, we play our best tennis.
We're going to be the U.S. Open champions playing that match,
When he gets on the grass he's a new man. He's like a little kid in the candy store. He has a clean slate here. Andy hasn't had the best couple of months by his standards, but this is cleansing for him. In the last two years on grass, he's only lost to (top-ranked) Roger Federer.
But it was logical that we won and had the match been played in the United States, it would not have taken close to three hours but an hour and a half without doubt.
We got 80% of what we wanted. They're not going to eliminate doubles.
