He outplayed me in the fourth. I was hoping to do something different in the fifth and it felt great.
How she helps me is with understanding the subtleties required to accomplish this task,
I came out there striking the ball really well,
He can keep his spin, but I'd rather take away his speed ? or make him right-handed. Any one of those things would change the dynamics dramatically. I'd first go speed, (and) then I'd go right-handed; then I'd go spin. On clay it's different. Spin would probably be right up there with the speed. On hard court, I can take the ball early and I didn't have much issue with that, but I did have issue with his ability to use his speed to get a hold of a point; and then he wouldn't let go of it once he had it.
He amazes me how far down he can dig,
You step on the court feeling like you have to play a perfect match.
You're here to help the team. I might be called on to do that again on Sunday. I sure hope to do better.

It's disappointing to lose, ... But the first thing you have to assess is why did you lose. I just lost to a guy that's better. There's only so long you can deny it. He's the best I've ever played against.
the match of my life on the day of my life.
If I feel that sharp pain on the court, it's impossible to play. That's what happened in Paris. I couldn't do anything. But normally the pain I live with is just during the cool down, the recovery. I don't mind a little pain in the evening after a hard day's work, to be quite honest, as long as I can go back out there the next day and be fully ready to go.
