I think I played a good two sets out there today. I've got to look at it as I've played really well, he couldn't miss anything today. I think everything was working for him.
I think I played a good two sets out there today,
At the beginning, I just couldn't miss. He played a little better in the second set but from 4-4 I played some really good tennis and came up with the break.
He's so good from the back of the court you can't let him dictate the rallies. But then if you step up, he passes you. I tried to work out the best option, but he was too good.
I didn't do much wrong and didn't lose my serve but he played some really good tennis.
That's a big deal for me to finish the year as the top player. ... It's been a good 2005. I'll be back in the top 40, and I picked up my 15th career title this year in Newport.
I've got a lot of experience and in the third set I started to play really well. I wanted to get off to a good start and it puts a little less pressure on Alex/
The good thing is that the young players have got some good experience, Andrew's played his first singles and we can get better,
I thought the first set was really good, especially getting that early break. He's a very deceptive player.
We're cautiously optimistic so we are just hoping for the best.
We've had many tough battles and I know it's going to be a difficult match.
I think I was written off after Wimbledon, so it hasn't been too bad since then. I'm going to give Ukraine the last chance to try to get that British No 1 spot.
(John) McEnroe sees him in the top 20, I see him getting into the top 50 and then the top 20.
With all the things I've had to go through it would be a big deal for me to get back to British number one.
