enjoy florida home lake tennis time
I don't think about tennis 24/7. I enjoy time on the lake at my Florida home and just being lazy on the sofa.
home love spend time
It's not so much that I don't like traveling, it's just that I love being home. I love being able to spend time with my friends.
team home player
There's no home team in tennis, no built-in fan base, so the players have to step up and do their fair share.
sports running home
I'm not going to go run and hide because I'm catching some heat. I'm not going to stay at home and pout.
home guy needs
I don't know that I'll ever be the guy who needs to go to a tournament to be seen and to spectate. I feel like I can accomplish spectating from home.
home thinking florida
I don't think about tennis 24/7. I enjoy time on the lake at my Florida home and just being lazy on the sofa.
home player thinking
Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best. And for me, I know I get insane guilt if I go home at the end of the day and don't feel I've done everything I can. If I know I could have done something better, I have this uneasy feeling.
catching hide home run stay
I'm not going to go run and hide because I'm catching some heat, ... I'm not going to stay at home and pout.

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.
