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.

I don't base my prospects on people pulling out. You have to beat the players playing best.

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.
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.

I'm not as optimistic about the Masters Cup as I was two days ago,

I knew it would be tough today, Tommy has been in great form early this year. I'm happy with the way I'm hitting the ball.

I knew it was going to be tough because Tommy had been playing really well (and) ... he was trying to push that to a third set.
against corner elite form forward great looking playing surface turned
I'm looking forward to playing Tommy. He's been playing great. I feel like I'm playing well, I've turned the corner and this will be a great test. He's in form and on a surface he likes. I want to play well against an elite player.
couple days happen hear optimistic
It's still too early. I'm probably going to take a couple of days off. The thing that makes me a little optimistic is it didn't happen on one movement. I didn't hear anything click; I didn't hear anything snap.
