It felt good, it was pain free. I've just got to run faster now, that's all.
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.
It's too difficult for guys to run as hard as they do over and over again,
The great part about tennis is you can't run out the clock.... As long as we were still playing, I had a chance.
James, ... is a guy who runs on high octane. He's a fighter jet; he burns the fuel fast and furious, and he plays so big and so fast that if an edge does come off, it's a big relief. You just have to show a bit of experience and keep hitting your shots.
James is a guy that runs on high octane, ... He's a fighter jet. He burns the fuel fast and furious, and he's gotten much better with that over the years.

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,
