animated chips coming definitely fans passionate props stepped
I'd also like to say props to the Chilean fans for coming out and being that passionate about their team. That's amazing. When the chips were down, though, our fans definitely stepped up as well and got pretty animated and pretty heated, which was fun.
battle coming expecting huge nice
I was coming in expecting just a huge battle and, you know, it's always nice when things go your way,
clay coming evident felt good grass last match transition week
I felt pretty good coming off of last weekend. The transition coming off grass last week to clay was pretty evident in this match but I thought if I could get through this one I'd be all right.
coming either flipped nebraska parts presented
When I was 18, 19, I was presented as the 'aw shucks' Nebraska kid who's coming up with a big serve, and then I flipped out a couple of times, and then I was ueber-brat, when I feel like there's parts of both, but I don't think I am either one, if that makes sense.
attention coming hold last pressure shown wimbledon year
He's shown that he can hold up to the pressure really well, like at Wimbledon last year. But this year at Wimbledon he has no idea what's coming with the attention he's going to get.
coming confidence far head lose played regroup sign terrible
I like where my head was at as far as competing. I played terrible the first set, but I was able to regroup and not lose it. That's a sign of confidence coming back.

Without doubt, this was my best match on clay and it needed to be. I could have easily lost today.

This totally blindsided me, ... I just felt like I was going to have a pretty good run here. I'm in a little bit of shock right now, to be honest. I'd give anything to go back four hours right now.

This totally blindsided me, ... I felt like I was going to have a good run here.
tennis fifth
Is that the longest fifth set ever? It was? So, no, I've never played one longer than that!
people return volley
I used to hear a lot that all I could do was hit a serve, I couldn't volley, I can't hit a backhand, I don't return well, and then people would turn round and tell me I'm underachieving.
successful player
I'm the most successful bad player ever.
jobs winning should-have
Tennis analyst is the easiest job in the world because whatever the person does, if it works you just say that's what's good, and if it doesn't work, you guys go, 'He should have done the other things.'.It just doesn't take much thought. If I'm grinding and I'm winning, you guys are like, 'He's reinvented himself.' If I'm playing like crap and pushing, then, you know, 'He's horrible and he needs to hit the ball.'
