event great weekend
It's awesome, it's a big weekend of tennis. I've had a great event and I want to keep going.
bizarre doubt four lost match playing points sort sudden
It's no doubt the most bizarre match I've ever played. I'm just sort of shocked. To play the first set as I did and him to play, I think I only lost four points in the first set... all of a sudden I'm playing a different player.
hard pay playing practice remain terms work
It was much better today, in terms of the result. I've been playing as well in practice as I have in years and I know that if I just remain patient, then the hard work will pay off.

bit difference felt hour knew longer moving practice shots sunday
I knew that my back wasn't great, but after the practice I had for three-quarters of an hour on Sunday and then a bit longer yesterday, I felt like it was moving in the right direction. But I just think there's always that difference between practice and matches. You know, you've got to go after shots a bit more.
best bit confident court focus good hopefully lady last lucky needs possible practice solely suffering time treated worse year
I've been lucky to be able to see the same lady that treated me so well last year when I was suffering much worse than I am now, so I'm confident I'm in good hands. At least I know that it's still possible for me to do well, even if my time on the practice court needs to be limited. It's not the best way to prepare, but hopefully it will be a bit better and I'll be able to focus solely on winning.
came game good second sets third won work
In the first set, I won the big points, and in the second and third sets he was the one who came out on top. He's going to get better and better and has a good game to work with.
bit game goes match second service shots
You've got to go after shots a bit more. It was just pretty much in my second service game that it tightened up. Then, if anything, it's just going to get tighter and tighter as the match goes on.
advantage bad healthy problems
I have had so many problems withy my bad back that when I get out there and actually feel healthy I really feel I want to take advantage of it.
act serves serving work
I wasn't serving well while Tommy got his act together. You know how important the serves are in tennis, and I'm going to work on mine.
best deal positives prepare simply situation
It's not the best way to prepare but I have to simply try and take the positives out of the situation and try and deal with it the best I can.
best confident results
I didn't play my best but I didn't play too badly. I feel confident if I keep working hard, the results will come.
best certainly
It's certainly the best that I've played, but the job's not done,
best tournament win worry
The best way for me to win the tournament is just to worry about my game.
