amusing annoying
It's amusing when you're winning, and annoying when you're losing.
ball bite court seemed service
It just seemed like I couldn't get the ball to go through the court like I would have liked. It was difficult. I wasn't getting much bite on my service action. It was frustrating.
pick pitch
It's great. When you're part of a team, you pitch in and pick each other up.
biggest depth draw great players
It's disappointing your biggest draw isn't here, but we have other great players here. The depth is so much better this year.
game good win
It's a good thing if your game is in and out and you win one and four,
aggressive improve playing room scared tried
I tried to be more aggressive and make him scared of my forehand. I still think there's room to improve but I am playing well.
tennis fifth
Is that the longest fifth set ever? It was? So, no, I've never played one longer than that!
people return volley
I used to hear a lot that all I could do was hit a serve, I couldn't volley, I can't hit a backhand, I don't return well, and then people would turn round and tell me I'm underachieving.
successful player
I'm the most successful bad player ever.
jobs winning should-have
Tennis analyst is the easiest job in the world because whatever the person does, if it works you just say that's what's good, and if it doesn't work, you guys go, 'He should have done the other things.'.It just doesn't take much thought. If I'm grinding and I'm winning, you guys are like, 'He's reinvented himself.' If I'm playing like crap and pushing, then, you know, 'He's horrible and he needs to hit the ball.'
giving tennis lines
I do understand that when someone gives you a [expletive] load of money, you take that money. Someone like Larry Ellison wants to invest into his event and make it the biggest possible, and he gets stopped by the ATP. If you're a start-up, what would make you want to navigate through that and to go through that firing line? How can you step into tennis with any confidence? It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.
play water tennis
No, actually I wanted to play five. I definitely wanted to try to lose that fourth set and test the waters in the fifth.
missing knows
You know, you can only throw in so many haymakers before one misses and you get knocked out
mother cheese-sandwiches cheesy
Call me All-American, but I love Ham and Cheese sandwiches. And not just any old ham and cheese sandwich... My mother's is the best. I've tried many times to make these sandwiches on my own, but it's never the same.
