No doubt the most bizarre I've ever played. I'm shocked, really. His level went from nonexistent to playing some pretty good stuff in the space of a game.

I've always enjoyed coming to Doha and playing here. The Qatar Open offers a good tune-up before the Australian Open but I am not thinking about winning it.

It is very disappointing for me, I was playing really well all week. But the points got longer and longer, with lots of play from the baseline, and my back was just hurting more and more.

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.

In my opinion, he's playing better than anyone in the world right now.
ball bottom coming easy great hitting level playing results since time won
It's not easy coming back from a long lay-off but it was great to be back playing. It was my first time back here since I won in 2003. I had great preparation and I've been hitting the ball well in practice, but at the level we are playing at results are the bottom line.
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.

I actually had a funny feeling that we would play each other this week, but when I mentioned it at dinner the other night everybody just laughed it off.

I have been training for four to five weeks back home. I am focusing more on staying fit as I want to play in more tournaments.

It certainly hasn't shown in my results yet, but I'm a big believer the hard work you put in will pay off somewhere down the line.

I think it's a bug of some sort, probably nothing serious. Now I need to rest and make sure I feel fresh for the French Open.

It wasn't a good season for me in 2005 and I wanted to try to get off to a good start. And beating a guy of his caliber is what I was looking for.
