I tell you what I do take pleasure in is accomplishing things that I question myself,
You never know when somebody comes of age or game, ... Some people, it happens a lot earlier than others. ... There's no question he's doing something better than he used to do.
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.
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'll have to really step it up Friday, that's for sure. Seeing his form over the last year and a half, I'd say I'd have to be doing a lot of things well, no question about it.
You come out and you know he will get his aces, ... My question was, what I do when I get my racket on the ball.
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,
It would be great to win, but I have no interest in putting a nice little bow around my career and handing it over to anybody,
Andy had number one in his hands the whole week,
Even a blind dog can find a bone now and then,
First of all, let me say, 1:15 in the morning, for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn't the winner, tennis was. That's awesome. I don't know if I've ever felt so good here before.
