I know he's been playing well and he's been picking up his standard, ... I've got to believe he's only gotten better. But you know, it's something I'm looking forward to: a good quality match for sure.
I know it's right up there because this is what you work so hard for,
I just lost to a guy that was better, ... He's the best I've ever played against. Normally, if I played that way against anybody else, I'd be favoring myself. Anything you try to do, he potentially has an answer to it. He plays the game in a very special way. I haven't seen it before. Pete (Sampras) was great. No question. But there was a place to go with Pete. There's no such play like that with Roger.
I just have a lot to be thankful for inside those lines, and certainly outside those lines as well, ... I'm more motivated now than ever to go out there and figure out a way through the battle.
I hope (my fans are) excited. I don't get to be in too many finals any more.
I really, really want to. I plan on it. I'm optimistic about it. But I have to also call it like it is right now. Is it possible that I can't anymore? It's definitely possible.
I really, really want to. I plan on it. I'm optimistic about it.

I'm enjoying her and the way I feel around her.
I kept my head down and kept wanting to make him earn it. In the third and fourth set, I felt I was a bit living on the edge with my serve. But then in the fifth, I settled down a little bit on my service games and put enough pressure on him to get that break.
I kept forcing it, I just got into that rhythm.
I hope there is something I can do,
