If I would have won a match when I was 17, that would have been a great achievement. Now if I don't win the tournament, you guys are going to be writing stuff,

Anybody who has won three rounds obviously deserves to be there. He's obviously playing very confidently right now. Fourth round, you don't take anyone lightly, that's for sure.

I didn't play that badly - plus eight in winners to errors - I looked and I won more total points. I think I would have beaten most people today, but credit where it's due - he played a very good match.

I've been pretty good about keeping my nose to the grindstone. I feel like I won a lot of matches from hard work and persistence, even maybe when I had better options as far as shot-making.

That was a good tournament because I won some matches. Even when I lost, I did things really well in patches, which is progress, which is all you can ask for.

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.

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.
