beaten credit good hit lean people played seen shots surprised today
I think I would have beaten most people today but credit where it's due, he played a very good match. The shots he was able to come up with were very good. I was surprised that he was able to lean in and hit some of the backhands. ... I haven't seen that before.
instead played playing reactive took
I thought he played great, let's get that out there right now. He really took it to me so I was playing reactive instead of active.
maybe played second sets third
I thought I played maybe better in the second and third sets than I did in the first set,
bad decided exception felt harder hit third
With the exception of a bad four-game stretch, I competed really well. I felt I did a lot of things well. In the third set I decided to try to take it to him more and hit harder and deeper.
super
I wasn't super confident. That's just what I wanted to do,
beginning definitely expecting high process serve served
I wasn't expecting him to serve that big. He was up in the upper 130s and served a very high percentage, ... There was definitely a feeling-out process in the beginning of the match.
bad game played tried upset
I wasn't upset because I didn't think I played a bad game, ... I just tried to refocus.
maybe stood
Maybe I should have stood on the mark,
beat caught everybody maybe stopped thinking
Maybe I got caught up in thinking about how to beat one guy, and I stopped thinking about how to beat everybody else.
loss remember
I'm in a little shock, to be honest. I don't remember a loss like this,
bit four hours shock
I'm in a little bit of shock right now, to be honest. I'd give anything to go back four hours right now.
lucky
I was lucky to get out of that one,
excited mine san
I was just excited that I could have James' back today, like he had mine in San Diego.
ball hit playing second
I was kind of playing catch-up there in the second set. But I actually feel I hit the ball better in the second set than the first.
