We almost completed the anti-Slam. That would have been a feat. So, win or lose, it was going to be amazing.

Two could've been out, but you gotta play them in that situation.
We also knew that Olivier Rochus had won the doubles at the French Open . But it was logical that we won and had the match been played in the United States, it would not have taken close to three hours but an hour and a half without doubt.
To do it at the U.S. Open, it's worth giving up five in a row.
We were feeling euphoric and light headed. I was wondering what the deal was. Everyone's ears were popping, popping, popping, so we thought that was a little weird. Then the pilot turned around and said we'd have to take the plane down to 4,000 feet. The pilot later said that if we had kept rising we all could have passed out. It could have been a Payne Stewart situation .
We were down break points pretty much every game in the third. It was just pure relief and happiness and excitement at the end.
I took a little off on the match point, threw them a bone.
It was a bad first game, I got off to a bad start. We were behind the eight-ball all set, it was uphill all the way. We kinda let the set go.
It?s great to have Stanford on board for what will obviously be an exciting year for doubles on the circuit. They realize that doubles can only get better, and the players are fully committed to working with them to make this partnership work.
When we have energy and we're happy, we play our best tennis.
We're going to be the U.S. Open champions playing that match,
When he gets on the grass he's a new man. He's like a little kid in the candy store. He has a clean slate here. Andy hasn't had the best couple of months by his standards, but this is cleansing for him. In the last two years on grass, he's only lost to (top-ranked) Roger Federer.
We got on them really early and I was hitting my wide serve really well on the ad-court. It went well the whole time.
