There's other guys - I've played a lot of them, I mean, so many years - (against whom) there's a safety zone, there's a place to get to, there's something to focus on, there's a way,
Other guys you play, and I've played a lot of them, there's a safety zone, there's a place to get to, there's something to focus on, there's a way. Anything you try to do, he (Federer) potentially has an answer for. He plays the game in a very special way. I haven't seen it before.
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,
It's not really a function of how fast it is, because a lot of guys can serve it 135-plus, ... The trajectory is the main issue, because you are lunging, but then it's (bounced) up in the air. You're sort of diving, but then you can't reach it, even if you dive perfectly on cue.
It's too difficult for guys to run as hard as they do over and over again,
It's probably a sign that, you know, things need to change somewhere for guys to feel better about their physical ability to get ready for a tournament this big.

It's an incredible serve, ... I'm trying to figure out where it is I would need to stand on the court to have the same trajectory.

Unfortunately, it doesn't happen as often as you'd like. Two guys need to play well and then the balls need to fall at the right place at the right time to create that sort of drama, and it all came together tonight.
I've said before, I don't know how I'm going to go out, ... I know one thing, if I'm out there playing well and giving something back to the sport, it's going to be hard not to give it more.
I've played No. 1 in the world tennis before and there wasn't a time when I ever felt like a favorite,
I settled down on my service games and my ground strokes, put enough pressure on him to get that break.
I've been thinking that for four years. You never know when it's your last go,
