block people criticism
I've probably put up with more criticism than a lot of people out there. At the end of the day, you block out everything, especially with your personal life.
region tennis took week
I think the way that the whole region really took to tennis in that week was pretty amazing.
felt great
Physically, I felt great out there. He didn't put me under that much pressure.
drink expected players trust water week
Players can't be expected to drink water out there. When trainers give you a drink on court, you have to trust them, week in, week out.
areas clicking felt forward game locker matter next quite room today trying win
I still felt like there was a lot of areas of my game that weren't quite clicking today. It was more a matter of trying to find a way to win today and get in the locker room and look forward to the next round.
areas game serious tournament work
I still feel like there's areas of my game that I can work on if I want to make any real inroads into this tournament and be a serious contender,
build foot jam test trying
I still feel it out there. It's just when I jam my foot off during matches. It's something you can't test before a match. So I'm just trying to build it up.
felt four work
I still feel it out there. I really felt it when I jammed it about four times. But it's just something that I have to work through.
conditions game handled suit
I think I just handled the conditions so much better than he did today. I don't think those kind of conditions suit has game at all.
conditions handled suit
I think I just handled the conditions better. I don't think these kind of conditions suit his game.
cheap courts few gets hard points
I think he comes off pretty well on hard courts as well. He still gets a few aces and cheap points on hard courts as well.
balls court definitely dictate doubt extremely hard helped last played slower whether
It definitely helped him out. There's no doubt about that. You know, he still played extremely well, and he didn't give me a lot of opportunities out there, but the court surface, it's very hard to dictate play out there. It's slower than last year. There's no doubt about that, whether it's the balls or not.
bit few fifth games maybe nice tight
Maybe I should have used them a bit earlier, ... It was nice just to get through the fifth set. A lot of the games were tight ... and a few just went my way.
bit easier fifth maybe
Maybe I should have used them a bit earlier, but it was easier to get through the fifth set.
