I was pretty nervous coming out here today. It took me a while to settle in. But it felt good.
I was pretty nervous coming out here today,
Certainly coming out here for the first match in such a long time, I couldn't have expected that standard, to be that comfortable, ... I just settled in early. Sometimes you can really get too anxious and never find your rhythm and fight yourself a little bit. I trusted my legs and found a nice rhythm with my shots. Six days of practice, I'd advise it for anybody.

It would be great to win, but I have no interest in putting a nice little bow around my career and handing it over to anybody,
Andy had number one in his hands the whole week,
Even a blind dog can find a bone now and then,
First of all, let me say, 1:15 in the morning, for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn't the winner, tennis was. That's awesome. I don't know if I've ever felt so good here before.
