I didn't feel hundred percent yet. In the middle of the third set, I lose power, lose everything, and don't feel good. But, well, that's normal. I was sick in the beginning of the week, so I thought that I was better than I play. I expect to be better physically, but not hundred percent yet.
Sometimes we get very frustrated here on court. It is tough to control. It is a mistake.
Sometimes the ATP puts a lot of pressure on the players and sometimes you get injured because you play on a dangerous surface. Nothing happens, no one pays for that.
No one is friends with Hewitt and he does not worry me at all.
I was the last guy to get into the tournament, so it's normal,
I think one has to understand that there are stages in life, and that the life of an athlete has its limits. It's short, and then it stops, and sooner or later you have to accept that.
It is now 1-1, as if we are at the start again. Tomorrow will be crucial for both teams.
I think I can win this sort of tournament, ... If that happens, I will be close to the Masters Cup. That's why I'm playing right now, to be able to get there.
I think he's playing good right now. You never know.
The altitude is similar to a few other tournaments.
After the tie-break in the first set, the game followed the path I wanted it to take. Now I don't mind who I play against,
I'm very confident we can win and it's going to be incredible.
It's difficult to compare with last year, but overall I feel comfortable here,
There was a lot of light in the arena and I didn't feel comfortable when I tossed the ball, ... It has not been my best day serving, but I did well on the important points.
