His serve was more awkward than I anticipated. If you don't get a good return, he immediately gets on the offense. That's the sign of a great player.
He was out-hitting me. I wasn't reacting well to the ball. He hits a heavy ball and a big forehand return.
He was pulling triggers, and I could feel if I didn't step up my game he was going to control what was going on out there, ... It was a high quality first set. I snuck a break out of nowhere. I knew I had to lift my game, and I did as the match continued.
He was serving well, playing really smart, taking chances on my second serve. If there's anything to fault him on it's not closing me out in the second, it's going away in the third.
He was really hitting the ball clean and big and making me feel like I was a step behind on all of my shots, ... ... It was quality tennis and the tennis stayed pretty high throughout.
He's playing a lot smarter, ... which doesn't give you those free points that make the difference.

Knowing my brother there's so much in him ? it's not time,
Just to see him out here is a great feeling, let alone watching him play so well. He's truly one of the classiest people you'll ever meet. If he's getting the better of me (Wednesday night), you know, I couldn't wish it for a better person.
He was controlling the ball and controlling the pace. I pretty much got what I deserved.
He was too good. I would suggest to his next opponent that he doesn't look to me for advice
