care hold match mean rest selfless time win year
I don't care if I win another match for the rest of the year, if we can hold up that Cup, I really don't care. That's probably the one time of the year where you can say that and be that selfless and mean it.
mean thinking years
I definitely think the European weather has more of a factor than the European clay. I think the European weather changes from week to week, I mean, last year it was sunny and hot and this week it's kind of playing tricks on us a little bit. I definitely think that is a factor.
thinking years guy
I don't think I'm one of those guys who won't pick up a racket for three years...I love hitting tennis balls.
years play long
I'm just glad to see that Pete (Sampras) shut everyone up last year. That was satisfying. You can't bag on guys like Pete or Tiger (Woods) or Michael Jordan. They can play as long as they want, they can do whatever they want. Nobody should be able to tell them differently.
career guys james year
I think we'll rebound. I think you'll see Robby and James and all those guys have career years this year - I see that happening.
absolutely history love next playing year
I absolutely love playing here, and to be part of history here now is incredible... I'll be back here next year for sure,
attention coming hold last pressure shown wimbledon year
He's shown that he can hold up to the pressure really well, like at Wimbledon last year. But this year at Wimbledon he has no idea what's coming with the attention he's going to get.
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.
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.
