Yeah, and then he stubs his toe on the way out of the stadium,
Every year, I am overwhelmed by the tremendous support the Grand Slam for Children receives from the Las Vegas community, business partners and the entertainment industry, ... It is gratifying to know that 100% of the money we raised tonight will directly benefit children who require our assistance.
To see 20,000 people out here after 1 o'clock in the morning, I wasn't the winner,
To say it (the injured hip) was 100 percent would probably be overstating it but to be able to have the time to get it better up to this point is a great sign that it will be 100 percent.
While I know that taking injections is not a way of life, I'm only looking at a few years, so that's a reasonable approach towards it.
Unfortunately, I know this process all too well, ... I know exactly what it needs.
Unfortunately, even with the amount of training and rehabilitation I've been going through, my ankle is still not 100 per cent.
I threw myself in with eagerness and desire, but it was just too much, too soon.
He's always been a real dangerous player, ... You never know when somebody comes of age or game. (For) some people, it happens a lot earlier than others. I haven't played him in a while. Certainly watching his wins over the last couple weeks have been great, not only here, but also in New Haven (where Blake won the title). He just looks like he's doing a lot of things well. There's no question he's doing something better than he used to do.
He's been playing well the whole year, so to come here and play a great match against him feels like a real achievement.
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.
