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.
australian hard hard-work last training work
I've had a different preparation this year. I did a lot of hard work and training so that I'd last right through the Australian summer.
eventual extremely far grand hold last lost next obviously played position six step tournament year
Every tournament I've played so far this year I've put myself in a position to win. The last six Grand Slams I've played I've lost to the eventual winner, so I'm obviously doing something extremely right. I've just got to take that next step to hold up the trophy.
australian last match night singles sunday
I would do anything to play that last match (the men's singles final) on that Sunday night at the Australian Open,
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.
eventual grand last lost played six
The last six Grand Slams I've played I've lost to the eventual winner, so I'm doing something right.
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.
couple kept last seemed
Back when I first started, it seemed that I kept bumping into a lot of other Australians. It's something that I haven't done in the last couple of years.

There's not too many people that have been actually able to beat him the last two years or so,
few last stomach virus worse
I've had some kind of stomach virus for the last few days. It just got worse and worse.
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.
easy incredible last pressure year
He's going to have a lot more pressure on him as well this year to try and back up what an incredible year he had last year. That's not going to be an easy thing for him to do.
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.
