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.
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.
ask good tournament won
That was a good tournament because I won some matches. Even when I lost, I did things really well in patches, which is progress, which is all you can ask for.
birthday felt good run totally wish
I wish I didn't have a birthday during this tournament. This has totally blindsided me. I just felt like I would have a pretty good run here.

I woke up this morning and felt OK. But as soon as I started moving, it really stiffened up. After a couple of games, I didn't feel so good about my chances.
bad best felt good hope loss love playing practice remember run totally week
I was totally blindsided, ... I don't really remember a loss where I've felt this bad afterwards. I love playing here. I probably had the best practice week I've ever had in lead-up. You kind of feel it and you hope for something good. I just felt like I was going to have a pretty good run here.
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.
draw easily either extended four game good lucky sets
I don't think it was a good draw for either of us, ... Fortunately I got a little lucky there. I could easily have been extended to four sets and it's anybody's game then.
draw good great
I don't think it's a great draw for me, but at the same time, its probably not a good draw for him either.
good match melbourne news practice tomorrow
Selfishly you want to play that match just to get some form. But the good news is I have another one tomorrow so I'm going to go over and try and get some practice at Melbourne Park.
against court good hard max miss played serves
Max played well. He always serves good and didn't miss many volleys. Sometimes you don't feel you're on the court against him. It can go by so quickly, it's hard to find a rhythm.
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.
except felt good
I felt pretty good all the way around, except for that first game.
