It felt great, ... It means a lot more than the 19th and a lot less than the 21st.
It feels amazing, ... This is why you work so hard. These moments don't happen very often anymore. I'm taking it in, and it's feeling pretty good.
It felt good, it was pain free. I've just got to run faster now, that's all.
It feels like there are not a lot of guys who play the game he (Dent) does and if you're not on your game he's one of the worst to play,
I still put myself through the same dramas that I used to and always have,
I tell you what I do take pleasure in is accomplishing things that I question myself,
It is not realistic for me to consider myself competitive on clay. The wear and tear it puts on my body has set me back the last couple of years. And Wimbledon is something that I don't want to miss this year.
It is not realistic for me to consider myself competitive on clay.
I was a little embarrassed to admit how it happened. You would think a racket sport would translate.
I was a bit discouraged there in the fourth. He went through a stretch there where I was lucky if every third point, I was in the point. He was hitting ace after ace. I just needed a chance, and I didn't get that till the fifth.
I was a bit discouraged there in the fourth. As hard as I was wanting to try, there's not a lot you can do when you're just not getting into the points,
I was just out of sorts. I think I was still in the locker room there in the first set. I knew it could only get better from there as far as my standard went. I think he got a little careless in the second, allowed me to settle in a little bit more.
I think he's very talented. You know, I think had he gone about his career by investing in himself a little bit more, by choosing his tournaments, by trying to peak for the right tournament, I think he could have accomplished a lot more than he has.
I think he's the best I've played against. But I also think the accomplishment of winning that many Slams requires a number of things, including a little bit of luck to make sure you're healthy, nothing goes wrong.
