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.
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.
maybe momentum series shot turn
I want a shot at him, ... Maybe I can turn the momentum in the series with one win. You never know. I want to keep trying.
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.
afraid ball hitting movement played plays shot stretched today whether
I don't know whether it was his movement or hitting the ball on the run. He's not afraid to be stretched out. If he plays like he played today he's got a shot (against Hewitt).
ball felt hit shot won
I felt like I hit the ball pretty well, especially my forehand, which was the shot that essentially won me the match,
likes shots
He likes to go for his shots at the lines, ... I'm going to have to try to take it to him.
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.
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.
add aspect calls challenges drama human per player tennis time top tv
On top of just getting the calls right time after time, which will be nice, it'll add another aspect for TV viewers. If a player has two challenges per set, it will add drama and excitement. This will add to tennis and take out a lot of human error.
