winning years next
This year its just about winning the big matches because if youre going to get into the top 20 then youve got to do well at the Masters Series and the grand slams. I dont have any ranking points to defend for the first few months of the year so if I do well over the next few weeks then Ive got a chance of doing it.
thinking years careers
I like to think I have a good few years left of my career yet, as long as I stay fit and healthy. However, it's always good to have a backup plan, which is why I have been working hard to build my business portfolio outside tennis.
play years realised
I've realised over the years I play my best when I have time to prepare for each tournament as best as possible.
kids years games
I try to anticipate the ball well. That's something that's helped me since when I was a kid. Just learning to anticipate and read the game well. That's helped me. When I moved over to Spain and I was 15 I was playing with big guys who were 22 years to 28 years old and I was 15 so I couldn't beat them with power. I had to beat them with touch shots and variety and anticipation and all of those things. I learned a lot when I was over there.
moving views years
I was pretty young when I bought my first place, and at that time didn't really view it as an investment. After living there for a few years I decided to move out of London, so I decided to rent it out for a few years. Then, as the property market continued to rise, I made the decision to sell.
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.
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.
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.
good penalty power tonight took
Tonight we took some unnecessary penalties. Our penalty kill was not good and their power play was good.
hard trying
I've been working hard on my composure, trying not to show much emotion.
break hold serve sick taking tough
It was pretty tough to go and hold your serve after taking a break as long as that. I didn't feel sick at all after that. It didn't make a difference.
