broke came couple found game good playing second shots stuck turned
Fernando came out playing lights-out in the first couple of sets, and I just stuck around and found a way. It was that one game when I broke in the second set. I made a couple good shots and it turned into a riot.
bit came cup davis definitely diligence due felt last played prepare quick ready time
I feel more prepared. Last year, you know, I didn't - we played Davis Cup in December, so by the time this came around it felt pretty quick to me. I definitely feel like I did more due diligence this year, was a little more ready to go and had a little bit more time to prepare on my terms.
ball came court felt guy hit last ripping thinking tonight winners
It's just a little frustrating right now. I felt like tonight I actually hit the ball better than I have over the last two weeks. I came off the court not really thinking I did a whole lot wrong. The guy was pretty much ripping winners from all angles.
asked came chair changing clothes good guess referee save shoe tie umpire
I was changing my clothes. Then the referee came and started getting on me about changing my clothes, so that was fun. You know, asked him if he wanted to tie one shoe for me, and I could tie the other one, we could just save time. I guess that wasn't a good idea. But, no, I mean, I was just changing my clothes. I told the chair umpire I was going to.

I just had to dig deep in the fifth set, and yet again the never-say-die attitude came out.

You can say whatever you want, but they came out, they took care of business. They beat us. It's as simple as that.

aggression authority bit felt needed serve tried
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.
felt good happened last round run time
First round of the U.S. Open, the last time that happened I was 17. It's not something I expected. You know, I just felt like I was going to have a pretty good run here.
