against best chances easier good match players struggling
Obviously, Ferrero's one of the best players in the world, ... My chances wouldn't have been so good against him. But Clement has been struggling a little bit. It's probably an easier match than it would have been against Ferrero.
sports eye player
I've been asked a lot lately if tennis is clean or not. I don't know any more how you judge whether a sport is clean. If one in 100 players is doping, in my eyes that isn't a clean sport.
player thinking differences
This will be my first Grand Slam final without Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic on the other side of the net, but I don't think being the more experienced player will make much difference to my approach.
moving player want
If you want a player to serve and volley more, you need to teach them to do that more, how to move at the net.
hard-work player tennis
For me the most important thing has always been tennis, and that's what I want to get across the image I want to portray is a hard-working tennis player.
thinking player careers
I think most players would love, at one stage in their career, to say, 'I've been No. 1 in the world.
believe player beats
You have to go into each match believing you can beat all of the players.
embrace good level matches players
A lot of the players are very complimentary about each other; they embrace at the end of matches because the level of the tennis has been so good. I think that's something that tennis has got to be proud of.
certainly deal fact focus great knows penalty players pleased positive sean side stay today
The penalty at the end of the game, you're not pleased about, but the focus today for the most part should be on the fact that Sean had a great game. Sean knows how I feel about things, and I think our players are going to deal with that with Sean. We always want him to stay on the positive side of things, but certainly we're not pleased with the penalties.
challenge enjoy next
I've never thought about doing this. I just enjoy a challenge ... This is the next challenge.
determination fall goals great scoring
Vancouver's got such a great team. To fall down two goals to them (and come back), showed a lot of determination on the part of our team. I thought we had the better scoring chances.
against alongside brother chance containing cup england event great home likes memorable occasion people promises scotland special sure team
The Aberdeen Cup promises to be a memorable event. To play for a Scotland team on my home turf against an England team containing the likes of Greg Rusedski is a great opportunity. To have the chance to play alongside my brother will make it a particularly special occasion and I'm sure the people of Aberdeen will make it an event to remember.
confident feeling normally obviously returning serve
He obviously didn't serve as well as he can. I don't know if that was because I was returning very well or if he just wasn't feeling as confident as he normally was.
certainly earlier penalty rankings shot
We go by the rankings we have in practice, and he certainly was one of our better ones. He scored on a penalty shot earlier this year.
