So now all of a sudden I'm faced with the reality that I can actually go enjoy the Open this year, because I'm doing a few things right, which is nice to feel, ... Yeah, I like where I am right now.
Ten weeks ago, I didn't know where things were going to go,
Pretty amazing. I don't know if I can put in context how this compares with some of my greatest experiences on the tennis court, but I know it's right up there, because this is what you work so hard for.
Same story now for a little while. A couple of good days followed by a series of difficult ones.
Somebody or something has to truly represent the better interest of the sport, ... It's important for there to be resolve.
So to postpone that, for me, I never really considered it. When it was right, I did it. But that's how I do most things, unfortunately.
Now my hopes are for the U.S. Open. I'm in a much better place right now than I was a few weeks ago.
The momentum Robby had going into the fifth, to me, you never know, it might be last set I play here at U.S. Open.
I can be playing in front of a smaller group of people and playing the match of my life. At almost 36 years old, I don't take it for granted. That (U.S. Open) match with James Blake was one of the best moments of my career, to be part of something special like that. I hope I have some big moments ahead of me.
I can't think of a better place for me to come out try to find my best tennis again,
I certainly didn't have enough today. Three five-set matches didn't help.
I attempted to play in Shanghai with an injury that was not fully healed and it set me back substantially.
He plays the most breakers because his hold game is that good and he struggles that much on the ground game,
He plays the game in a very special way that I haven't seen before.
