doubles easy extremely great lies lost loves olympics passion played playing says strong sydney tie
That says a lot about where their passion lies and it's not going to be an easy tie at all. I know Max, he loves this kind of competition. I lost to him in the Sydney Olympics when (he was) playing for Belarus. He played extremely strong that day and he's a great doubles player, so I don't think any of the live rubbers are going to be that easy.
lockers rooms lost
Matches are won and lost so many times in the locker room.
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.

easily good great lost matches round second tough
It's been pretty good this week, ... I could easily have lost in the second round to Greg (Rusedski). To come through that and have some tough matches is very good. It's great preparation for the US Open.
region tennis took week
I think the way that the whole region really took to tennis in that week was pretty amazing.

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.
