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.
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.
base beat people players playing prospects pulling
I don't base my prospects on people pulling out. You have to beat the players playing best.
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.
andy beat change chasing counter federer instead strengthen turn
Somehow, Andy has to turn it around so that instead of chasing Federer, he's making Federer beat him. I would probably say don't counter him. Play your game. Strengthen your weaknesses. Make him change his game. If you're on him at the net, he has to find something else.

I didn't play that badly today. I think I would have beaten most people today but let's give credit where credit's due, he played a great match.

I've tried to serve with a little bit more authority, ... I felt like I needed to become more aggressive. My aggression out there is my weapon.
bit maybe shots top totally
The shots he was able to come up with were very good. Maybe I was a bit spacey out there. I wasn't totally on top of things.
I used to go to the U.S. Open on my birthdays and sit in the nosebleeds.
match quality rub
It would have been unprofessional, ... You don't want that quality of a match to end like that. You would not want to rub it in people's faces.
ball break cleaner early felt hitting playing second sneak
Early on I felt he was hitting the ball a little cleaner than I was but I managed to sneak a break and once I got the break back in the second set I really started playing well.
aspect felt good start
Especially after (Wednesday), I did not feel comfortable about my game, but every aspect of it went fine, ... I felt everything was flowing. I was not thinking, I just played. I had a pretty good start and he felt that.
