Of course, it's very frustrating to see the umpire making a clear mistake but he doesn't want to change his mind no matter what.
I've slightly changed my action and movement and tonight it really worked well for me.
It was a great comeback from Pete ... I was always under pressure,
I am happy. I mean, playing Fabrice is not so nice for me... he was leading 7-1 in matches we'd played, so I am happy to be back and to win.
I think the crowd should get a video cassette of this match because it was a classic,
I don't understand what Ferrero was complaining about,
I'm just hoping to play as many tournaments I can to get my ranking back.
I've played him many times, six times, but the way he is playing this year, with confidence, to beat him will be very tough. A little bit of luck would be great.
I took a risk to come back and play and prepare for the U.S. Open . I decided to try to play, to see if it gets better or if it gets worse.
I've been playing non-stop for several weeks and obviously I'm getting tired both physically and mentally. I tried but it wasn't enough.
He's the kind of player that you need to be really careful and really focus from the beginning of the match.
Everybody is smarter from outside of the court.
It's like love. When you look too hard, you don't find it. When you let it happen naturally, it comes.
Everything is possible in this life...
