There's going to be a lot of times out there that I'm going to wish I was 6-10, and there's a lot of times I'm going to thank God that I'm not. I just hope there's more of those times.
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.
I broke him one time. You come out to a match like this and you hope for that at least. So you never know what to expect playing somebody you never played before. In his most difficult moments, he was more awkward than I anticipated.
So I go to the Open with the intention of hopefully bringing some inspiration to those who take a few hours out of their day to come watch me. That's what I look forward to.
It's a tragedy, it's terrible. I hope there's something I can do. I'll be a part of anything that might make a difference.
We're going to come down to South Florida really early and visit her family, as well. And I'll be preparing for what will hopefully be a great week and a great year.
You're here to help the team. I might be called on to do that again on Sunday. I sure hope to do better.
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.
He deserves support. I just hope it's a great standard match. He's always been a real dangerous player. You never know when somebody comes of age. Certainly watching his wins over the last couple weeks have been great, not only here but also in New Haven. There's no question he's doing something better than he used to.
I hope (my fans are) excited. I don't get to be in too many finals any more.
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.
He's writing checks that you only hope his body can cash. He plays very hard every single point.
I hope there is something I can do,
You can't always hope for matches to go that uneventfully.
