awkward bit days definitely eat felt few five four hit last routine week
I didn't eat for about four or five days. So it hit me pretty bad. I felt a little bit awkward the last few days just training, getting back into the routine of things again. I'm definitely a lot better than a week ago.
happy hit moved
I was happy the way I hit the ball. I think I moved a lot better, as well.
affected good hit ribs round serving tough wasting win
I didn't feel my ribs were affected by my serving but the first round is always tough and it was good to get the win under my belt. It was a good hit without wasting a lot of energy.
ball hitting
I feel like I'm hitting the ball just as well as ever,
ball great hitting last practice week
It's disappointing because in practice I feel like I've been hitting the ball great over the last week or so.
cold flattened goes hit stepped winners
Then he hit some cold winners and flattened some out. He just goes for it and stepped it up when he had to.
eat energy four hit last three whatsoever
I haven't been able to eat anything the last three or four days, which just really hit me up because I've got no energy whatsoever right at the moment.
balls everywhere flying focusing matter papers win
It's a matter of focusing on what you have to do. There's balls going everywhere and papers were flying round. The person who is able to keep his focus will win the match.
lining ready return serve sure walked
It was weird. He was lining up ready to serve and I was ready to return then he walked off to the chair. I wasn't sure what was going on.
cheap four improved points reason
He doesn't give you cheap points the way he did four years ago and that's the reason why he's improved so much and he's the standout No.1 at the moment,
enjoyed extremely masters playing tennis
I am extremely disappointed as I have always enjoyed playing the Tennis Masters Cup.
players tough worrying
It's tough for players to know what to take. It's worrying a lot of us.
aussie biggest both couple few guys last matches open top
The first couple of matches we played, I was one of the top guys and he was on his way up. The last few times, we've both been at the top of the game. The biggest one was probably the Aussie Open semifinal.
double serves
I couldn't put in first serves and was double faulting.
