I was super-happy with the way I returned tonight,

I felt like I had a little bit of a momentum, and then he played a pretty good game to break me. He put a lot of returns in off my first serve.

Though I have continued to practice, train and play, the lower back spasms continue, ... After being evaluated by medical staff upon my return to the United States, it is now clear that I am not able to resume tennis activities for 10-14 days.
almost court follow four games glad good high percentage pressure return returns serve service
It was good 'cause I wanted to return well. I feel like after the first four games of the match, I really started doing that. I put a high percentage of returns in the court and put pressure on him almost every service game. And if I can do that, it will make my serve look that much better to the other guys. I'm glad I was able to follow through on our game plan.
four games good return
It was good because I wanted to return well. I feel like after the first four games of the match, I really started doing 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.
player lists return
It's pretty high up there on the list. Being able to return a serve at that speed is one of the biggest things that separates the professionals from the recreational players.
games giving return
If I can break one out of every three return games, I'm going to give myself a shot in a lot of matches.
ball corners fine hit return
There were a lot times I hit the ball fine in the corners and he got back to return it. It was frustrating.
block bomb hit neutral returned served trouble
He served real well and that got him out of trouble a lot. He returned well. I hit a bomb and he'd block it back and I'd be back to neutral again.
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.
