beat close crack playing position putting rare
We've had a lot of close matches, and I haven't come out on the better end of them, ... Which is a little rare for me. I want to get another crack at these guys. The only way I'm going to beat them is by playing them and putting myself in position enough times.

To me, it feels like business as usual. I think it's good that, including Dean, we're all familiar with each other and the Davis Cup situation and how the lead-up week is supposed to go. So I think that helps a little bit.

I don't know whether it was his movement or hitting the ball on the run. He's not afraid to be stretched out. If he plays like he played today he's got a shot (against Hewitt).
focused gone happened mind three trying
I don't know what would have happened if it had gone to three sets, but my mind was focused on trying to end in two sets.
care hold match mean rest selfless time win year
I don't care if I win another match for the rest of the year, if we can hold up that Cup, I really don't care. That's probably the one time of the year where you can say that and be that selfless and mean it.
