decided difficult happen motivated stop
I am always on the edge. I don't know when, but it can happen quickly. I get motivated with the challenge. This is what I do, and I have not decided to stop doing that. But it is getting more difficult on the body, it is getting more difficult on the mind.

Listen, James is an easy guy to like, and he's an easy guy to root for, ... If he's getting the better of me, if we happen to play, you know I couldn't wish it for a better person. He deserves support. I just hope it will be a great standard match.
ball break dividends exhausted felt good greater happen hitting mentally needed next pay physically practice somewhere
I felt I needed a good break after Wimbledon. I was mentally and physically exhausted and frustrated. I've come back to practice with a much greater purpose, the way I'm hitting the ball has made me excited. It may not happen this week, next or at the Open, but I know I'm good enough for what I want to do to pay dividends somewhere down the line.
age age-and-aging blake certainly couple dangerous earlier happens haven last looks played question somebody watching weeks wins won
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.

It's not like in basketball, where you run out the clock and somebody throws up a half-court shot that happens to go in and rips your heart out, ... This is a guy that's forcing me to close him out. ... He deserved that set, and outplayed me in the fourth.

cool evening fully happened hard impossible mind next normally pain quite ready sharp
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.
approach few injections looking reasonable taking towards
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.

great injured percent point sign time
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.
