I might surprise you a little bit, ... I feel good. I'm certainly going to be looking forward to it. Mentally just being out there is going to take care of that. Physically I'll be able to make somebody earn it, that's for sure.
We played once in Australia. We got done with that match and I said, 'He's a top 10 player'. He just seemed to do so many things well. He made you work for every point. I've got to believe he's only got better. I'm looking forward to a good quality match.
It's really disappointing to miss this year's tournament and I was really looking forward to playing again in the Bay Area.
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.

When you're young, you can sleep in till 12,
Some moments it feels longer, other moments it feels like it's flown by; you can't believe you've done it all that time... Overall, you have a strong sense for the full spectrum that you've sort of traveled.
The court was playing pretty fast, it almost felt like playing tennis with golf balls out there. But I am feeling fine physically. I think need a few more matches before I can start competing better.
Robby's improved a lot, ... He's gotten a lot smarter with his game. ... I was very impressed with how he's improved since last time I've played him.
