bad best felt good hope loss love playing practice remember run totally week
I was totally blindsided, ... I don't really remember a loss where I've felt this bad afterwards. I love playing here. I probably had the best practice week I've ever had in lead-up. You kind of feel it and you hope for something good. I just felt like I was going to have a pretty good run here.
excited
I was excited I could have James' back today. When he went down, I really wanted to go out there and get it for him.

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out why people are getting hurt.
easy seem slip thinking
It doesn't seem easy to me, you're always thinking that it could slip away,
carry stopped thinking
I stopped thinking about that (defeat) a while ago. I'm not going to carry that with me for a long time.
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.

I thought I played maybe better in the second and third sets than I did in the first set,
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.
james pick picked today
We all pick each other up. I've picked up James before and today he picked me up. That's' why it's called a team.
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.
