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.
Playing a surface like we are here is not easy on the body,
I was playing a lot of golf, going out a lot, enjoying Brooke's world,
We played a few times, but he's obviously playing way better than the times that I've played him, just like James,
It's really disappointing to miss this year's tournament and I was really looking forward to playing again in the Bay Area.
Each set my quality picked up, and in the fourth set we were both playing well.
It took me a while to enjoy playing here the first few years,
It's hard for me to put it in context, ... I can say I enjoy playing there more than anywhere else in the world. When you step on the court there, regardless of how you feel, you always push yourself to get the most.
There's a lot to like about playing against someone you've known and played against a long time,
It's a good feeling to be playing in an environment that you played so well in, and then to have a match that you've had before.
It's always awkward playing somebody for the first time. Tonight I just stayed with executing my shots, stayed comfortable.
There's no matches you get through unless you're playing sensibly. You have to,
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.
He's been playing well the whole year, so to come here and play a great match against him feels like a real achievement.
