business cup davis familiar feels good helps including situation supposed week
To me, it feels like business as usual. I think it's good that, including Dean, we're all familiar with each other and the Davis Cup situation and how the lead-up week is supposed to go. So I think that helps a little bit.
frankly good hours retired sit
If I'm being honest, I think I'd be good at television; I just don't know if I am interested, because you are kind of geographically responsible to a location, and frankly I don't know if I retired from tennis so that I could sit around tennis tournaments 12 hours a day.
champions deciding expect finish grand playing race ride route since sitting slam title trophy
I was sitting there in May not really playing much after the French, kind of deciding what route I wanted to go, ... I didn't really expect to finish up so strong. To have a Grand Slam title and then the Champions Race No. 1 trophy as well, it's been a ride since then.
control felt normally opposed situations strike time trying whereas
I just felt like the whole time I was trying to find something as opposed to just having it, ... I normally take control of the situations more than that, whereas he was getting first strike tonight.
angry call correct ok situation sure
I can't be angry about it, because the right call was made. I'm sure there are going to be times when it's going to be the situation reversed, and I think you're OK with it as long as you know the correct call is being made.
bit loving sure
I'm sure with a little bit of TLC (tender loving care) it'll be okay.

I'm not as optimistic about the Masters Cup as I was two days ago,

I knew it would be tough today, Tommy has been in great form early this year. I'm happy with the way I'm hitting the ball.
knew playing push third tough trying
I knew it was going to be tough because Tommy had been playing really well (and) ... he was trying to push that to a third set.
against corner elite form forward great looking playing surface turned
I'm looking forward to playing Tommy. He's been playing great. I feel like I'm playing well, I've turned the corner and this will be a great test. He's in form and on a surface he likes. I want to play well against an elite player.
couple days happen hear optimistic
It's still too early. I'm probably going to take a couple of days off. The thing that makes me a little optimistic is it didn't happen on one movement. I didn't hear anything click; I didn't hear anything snap.
asked committed cup davis olympics represent ultimate whether
It's sport's ultimate honor, whether it be the Olympics or any other international competition, to be asked to represent your country. I think that's why all of us are so committed to the Davis Cup cause.

Everyone is trying to find their form and everyone is making sure they're ready to go next week.

Everyone agrees that the season needs to be shorter.
