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.
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.
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.
bad best bit felt four hours loss love playing practice remember shock translate week
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 leadup. It just didn't translate tonight. ... I'm in a little bit of shock right now, to be honest. I'd give anything to go back four hours right now.
assumption easy people week
But I'm through and I'm going to keep battling. A lot of people are under the assumption that it's easy to play well every week and it's not.
chose good optimistic practice surprise week
That's not a surprise (that the Belgians chose clay). But it's fine. I think we had a good week of practice and we're optimistic about this weekend.

A lot of pressure is off ... by us doing well this week as well, ... I feel like I've been through a couple battles here. I'm excited. I'm going to go out there and just wing it and have fun.

I come here wanting to win ... and I think it's great preparation for next week because you are getting into your routine so it becomes second nature.
best clay easily lost match needed
Without doubt, this was my best match on clay and it needed to be. I could have easily lost today.

This totally blindsided me, ... I just felt like I was going to have a pretty good run here. I'm in a little bit of shock right now, to be honest. I'd give anything to go back four hours right now.

tennis fifth
Is that the longest fifth set ever? It was? So, no, I've never played one longer than 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.
