moment night played sure whether winning worrying
We played in the moment all night long. That was the key. We didn't play worrying about whether we were winning or losing. I'm pretty sure that's the way to do it.

I guess somebody thinks we're doing OK. It's one day at a time. We're trying to get a little better each day.

I'm feeling very lucky to get out of Lyon with a win.

He really landed hard. He's smiling now, but he's going to be hurting later.

Serve and pass. You take care of the basics and go from there.

gained looked net
I think they looked through the net and gained a lot of confidence.

It's a bum deal for him, as it is for us. He's paid a lot of time. He's paid a lot of dues. It's a tough deal.
heap last nobody position quickly seemed settle top whoever
It seemed like whoever ascended to the top of the heap would quickly give it away. Nobody could settle into that position last year.
